The Portrait of Philip in Acts : A Study of Roles and Relations PDF
by F. Scott Spencer
Part of the The Library of New Testament Studies series
Description
Appraisals of early Christian leaders in Acts typically neglect or minimize the contribution of Philip the evangelist.
This study establishes Philip's pivotal place in the overall structure of Luke-Acts, stressing the significance of his roles as the first missionary to the marginalized Samaritians and 'God-fearers' of a charismatic prophet in the tradition of Moses and Elijah, and a versatile servant in both domestic/diaconal and itinerant/kerygmatic capacities.
This investigation utilizes close literary analysis of the Lukan narrative informed by social-historical assessments of the ancient Mediterranean world to create a comprehensive, multidimensional portrait of Philip in Acts.
