In The Story of Jesus Continues Video Lectures, professor and scholar Douglas Huffman takes learners through different introductory and interpretive issues in the study of Acts, including the genre, purpose, history, culture, and geographical setting of the story. Equipped with these fascinating details, in broad strokes, each lesson traces Luke's well-told recounting of the ongoing story of Jesus. Sensitive to the purposes Luke had for his text--as well as its connection to the Gospel of Luke--Huffman concludes by noting how the Jesus story is intended to continue into the present.
