Free Acts (N.T. Wright For Everyone Bible Study Guides) Ebooks Online
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 "The Acts of the Apostles," but we should think of it as "The Acts of Jesus (II)." These studies from Tom Wright help us to do so, and to see how Jesus' acts through the apostles inform our acts today.

Our Men's Bible Study embarked on this study July 2011 and we are just now drawing to a close. Our group of 6 to 10 meets weekly for about 2 hours in the early morning and we have found that this study generates good thoughtful discussion. The Study itself is broken down into parts of the chapters of Acts which are read at the begining from a separate text(Bible) and then discussed using Bishop Wright's questions and leads. The format leads to discussion not only about the immediate topic, but beyond and is quite useful in provoking thought and discussion on how we individually and collectively relate to God's world. A good companion and resource text for this study quide is Wright's Acts for Everyone Acts for Everyone, Part 1 (New Testament for Everyone)and Acts for Everyone, Part 2 (New Testament for Everyone) which were a great help when our discussion got bogged down. Our group is now considering a choice for our next study, and while we have had much success with other resource over the years, we will probably be returning to another Wright study guide.
N.T. Wright is one of Britain's foremost New Testament scholars. This book is excellent for adult Bible study. Thoughtful discussion questions encourage deeper examination of this masterpiece by Luke. Highly recommend.
"John" by N.T.Wright, used as Bible Study Guide for 26 weeks and "The "Word" truly came alive for this Adult Sunday School Class. Tom Wright is truly a down to earth New Trestament scholar. A true delight to teach from this guide and make a interesting presentation for an adult christian education class that invited discussions, questions researched and answered and with a new understanding of Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and a true friend. Our Pastor, Dr.Sam Haun, Sr.Pastor of Brookside Presbyterian Church, Tulsa OK said we could not found a better theologian & author to be guided by and Pastor Sam encouraged us to use Wright's study books on the bible.After finishing "John", we (our class) will begin our next bible study with N.T. Wright's Study Guides for Everyone of the bible book of "Acts", 24 studies for individuals and groups. Each class member will have their own book to enjoy and study.We are also providing the option by having available the offering a second book by Wright "Acts, Part One, Chapters 1-12" which could be called as another expansion of the regular class study guide. As a Lay Leader, I think it will help those that want to learn the subject matter in more depth. One glance at these two Wright books and I knew that I had to have both books for this new study.by Jack Story, Presbyterian Elder and Co-Instructor of "Acts" for the Fall 2011 C.E. Programs.
Our Men's Group will be using this program this fall. My Co-Leader and I have been reviewing the Acts for Everone complimentary books and find it very helpful in preparing our lesson plans. We plan to use a video of Acts to cover the Bible "Reading" and then use this study for discussion.
We are currently using this book as part of a group Bible study, along with viewing the book of Acts in video format as we move through the book. The format, resources, and thought-provoking study helps are fantastic!
NT has a "new" perspective on Paul, but it seems to be based more closely on the civilization that Paul lived it and how he was addressing those people and the choices they had to make to accept Jesus. This is based on using Acts and Roman's only. If you want some fresh insights into the times and the Christian belief than I strongly recommend these books.
We used it for our study group and it was very insightful and inspiring. Our group was on fire.
We are using it in our men's Sunday study. We are not excited about many of the questions proposed in the book and it doesn't address many of the interesting topics found in each chapter. Of course, time wouldn't allow for a discussion of the the topics in Acts. It has, however, stimulated some good discussions.
