Acts

By: Dr. Bill Creasy

Narrated by: uncredited

Acts is Luke’s sequel to his Gospel. Like his Gospel, Acts is addressed to a particular man, Theophilus, and it tells the story of the birth of the Church. After Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection, he ascends into heaven to sit at the right hand of the Father. Ten days later, the Holy Spirit arrives in Jerusalem on the Jewish feast of Pentecost, and the Church is born. Acts follows the Church from its birth in Jerusalem through its exponential growth and inevitable persecution, led by Saul of Tarsus.

Incredibly, Saul later confronts the risen and glorified Christ on the road to Damascus, where he becomes a believer. And not just any old believer! Saul becomes Paul, the great Apostle to the Gentiles. From Chapter 9 onward, Acts follows Paul on his three missionary journeys as he takes the Gospel into Asia Minor and Europe. In the end, Paul evangelizes all of Asia Minor, a good chunk of Europe, and he writes 13 of the 27 books of the New Testament. This is an incredible story, and no one tells it better than Logos Bible Study’s Dr. Bill Creasy.

Awesome

Would you consider the audio edition of Acts to be better than the print version?

Dr. Creasy does an excellent job going through the books of the bible - he brings
Knowledge and understanding and has a great sense of humor. I hope to listen to all of the books!

Any additional comments?

I've done lots of bible studies and I this is definitely a favorite!

Eye opening experience!

this was a very eye-opening experience for me. I'm grateful that Dr Creasy put such time and effort into studying and understanding scripture. I plan on continuing with his series of different books of God's word as I move forward into understanding.

Dr. Creasy, brings the bible books to life!

I've now purchased three different audible bible books by Dr. Creasy. At first, I was put off by his 'folksy' style of story telling, until I started listening closely. He brings the stories to life. He has traveled to all these places numerous times, so he's able to describe the geography as it was then, and also fills in the details of the culture, social hierarchy, etc, of that era. Best of all, his narration is expressive, and he is able to inject humor whenever possible. His bible studies are NEVER boring! Definitely recommend!

Acts

As usual Dr Creasy brings on a wonderful performance and makes it fun to learn about the "word" :)

Excellent for getting an overview

I love listening! I have been teaching through the Bible myself, and I am disagreeing with some of the speculations Dr. Creasy make. The repeting introduction I need to skip so it won't drive me crazy. Except this I really, really enjoy listening, and I learn a lot! Highly recommended!

A good overview of the book of Acts

Dr Cressy is very entertaining and does a good job of explaining what goes on in Acts setting the context and the characters.

Great background and overview of Acts

Dr. Creasy is very knowledgable and has a sense of humor as well. He references many geological areas. The book was helpful in my study of Acts.

Engaging lecture series

I have listened to several of Dr. Creasy’s Bible studies. He has a very engaging style, goes into historical context and makes the characters accessible. I feel like I know Paul’s personality now and can feel his passion for Christ. Can’t wait to start Romans!

great continuation to Gospel According to Luke

My plan was to study the Gospels one after the other. After studying Gospel of Luke I just had to continue with Acts because it picks up where the Gospel ends.

Better than Expected

Hated to see it end. Makes the bible come alive with contemporary language and comparisons.
