His ministry touches all aspects of creation, human and non-human, and invites disciples into an ecological asceticism. This same spirit continues in the \u003cem\u003eActs of the Apostles\u003c\/em\u003e. In this \u003cem\u003eEarth Bible Commentary on Acts\u003c\/em\u003e, Michael Trainor allows our environmental concerns to shape his interpretative approach, and thus ecological nuances emerge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLuke’s household of disciples, imbued with the spirit of the risen Jesus, are to embrace the world and bring to it a word of reconciliation. They embark on this mission formally at Pentecost with their reception of God’s creative and renewing Spirit that empowers them as Earth’s children. From this moment, an explosion of activity moves them over Earth’s lands, beginning in Jerusalem, Earth’s navel (Acts 1.1-8.1), into Samaria, the space in-between that navel and Galilee, the garden of God’s earthly delights (Acts 8.2-11.17), to the ends of Earth, Rome (Acts 11.18-28.33).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs we trace Luke’s vast geographical journey around the Mediterranean, key moments highlight fresh environmental insights that offer new hope for contemporary disciples seeking ecological affirmation at this particular time in world history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47595409375468,"sku":"9780567703774","price":149.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780567703774-acts-an-earth-bible-commentary.jpg?v=1777897529"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/series-earth-bible-commentary.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
