Accessible and thoughtful exposition of Acts 1–18 Shows How God’s Mission Continues After Christ’s Ascension, and Explores How God Uses Unexpected People to Advance the Gospel in Unexpected Places
This book pack includes:
In this accessible exposition of Acts 1–8, Iain Duguid explores the continuing work of Jesus after the ascension. Drawing practical lessons from the life of the early church, as well as his own 30 years as a church planter, Duguid encourages believers today toward gospel-driven, Spirit-filled mission. In a culture that is increasingly hostile toward Christianity, Turning the World Upside Down equips ordinary Christians to witness to the eternal power of the gospel.
Examining Acts 9–18, Iain Duguid offers new insights on this pivotal period in early church history. A companion to his book Turning the World Upside Down, which explores Acts 1–8, this volume follows the continued progress of the gospel and the perseverance of the saints. Duguid explains how God’s grace replaced Jewish laws concerning kosher food and circumcision. He also studies themes of judgment, healing, and the unexpected people God chooses to establish his church. As readers work through the text, they will gain a strong understanding of Christian history and God’s will for the body of Christ.
Endorsements
“Iain Duguid’s Turning the World Upside Down—based on the opening chapters of Acts—is a splendid gift to us from a writer who stands in the church’s best tradition of being both a professor and pastor. It skillfully combines interpretation of Scripture with clear and relevant applications. It is scholarly yet readable, simple yet enriching, enjoyable yet challenging, packed with expositions of the ‘there and then’ that help us see and feel their implications for the ‘here and now.’ Here is a book to help both the church and the individual Christian turn our world ‘upside down’ in order to turn it ‘the right way up.’”
Sinclair B. Ferguson, Chancellor’s Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary; Teaching Fellow, Ligonier Ministries
“Though undergirded by his profound scriptural knowledge, Iain Duguid’s series is not a dense theological treatise on the important New Testament book of Acts. Rather, it walks through the story, presenting its profound truths in a conversational way, making penetrating and personal applications at every step.”
Nancy Guthrie, author, Saved: Experiencing the Promise of the Book of Acts
“At a time when we Christians feel insecure, what can we learn about the spread of the gospel in the early church? This series helps us to see what is most important for us right now.”
Michael Horton, J. Gresham Machen Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics, Westminster Seminary California
