Description
The Glories That Should Follow: Some of Christ’s Glories in the Book of Acts
By: Alfred E. Bouter
Acts is the fifth book of the New Testament and it continues where the first four end. The Gospels record the life, words, and acts of the eternal Son of God, our Saviour: From His birth to the cross, to the tomb and to His resurrection. The Gospels close with the apostles in Jerusalem, receiving the Great Commission and as a company (the 120) waiting for the promise of the Father. Once they received this promise and the Holy Spirit had come to indwell them — sent by the exalted Son of man — they received power from “on high” needed for the work our risen Lord gave them to do (Luke 24:49).
This volume has as title The Glories That Should Follow and has two main parts. In it the author stays close to the text of Acts, elaborates on specific details, including word-studies and comments on Greek words. The second part discusses more in-depth some important themes and topics.
Acts can easily be understood, but also misunderstood. Some use it as their textbook to proclaim that the same things which happened, then, should also happen today. Others, rejecting this, build on human traditions and inventions. Both approaches are faulty. In this book about Acts, the author, with the Lord’s help, seeks to keep a healthy balance in these matters, avoiding such extreme positions, trying to maintain a sound balance between interpretation and application.
