I've just received my copy of an interesting new book by Scott Shauf, The Divine in Acts and in Ancient Historiography (Minneapolis: Fortress, 2015)—the link I've given takes you to the publisher's page, which then allows you to visit a Google preview of some of the book.
Students, pastors, and scholars will benefit greatly from Scott Shauf's fine study of divine involvement in history in Acts, in the context of ancient historiography. This book is both well-researched and engaging. Dr. Shauf's comparisons of Acts with other Greco-Roman and Jewish historians highlight a wide range of fascinating similarities and differences in thinking about divine involvement in history. He can thus paint a nuanced and well-drawn portrait of divine involvement in history in Acts in the context of these ancient sources. Dr. Shauf highlights key themes and provides excellent discussions of significant passages, both in Acts and in his whole array of texts, showing a fine grasp of primary sources. To read him is to be engaged and educated—bravo!
