The mysterious presence of Jesus haunts the whole story of Acts. Jesus is announced as King and Lord, not as an increasingly distant memory but as a living and powerful reality, a person who can be known and loved, obeyed and followed, a person who continues to act within the real world. We call the book "e;The Acts of the Apostles,"e; but we should think of it as "e;The Acts of Jesus (II)."e; These studies from Tom Wright help us to do so, and to see how Jesus' acts through the apostles inform our acts today.
