The Prophets Agree - (Biblical Interpretation) by Aaron W White (Hardcover)

About the Book

The Prophets Agree is the first study of its kind that offers a comprehensive analysis of the role Minor Prophets in the book of Acts, and how it has made a singular redemptive-historical contribution to that NT book.

Book Synopsis

The way Luke uses and interprets Scripture continues to captivate many. In his new work, The Prophets Agree, a title inspired by James' words at the Jerusalem Council, Aaron W. White turns over one rock that has remained untouched. Interpretation of the four quotations of the Minor Prophets in Acts frequently isolates each citation from the other. However, this full-length study of the place of the Minor Prophets in Acts asks what difference it makes to regard these four quotations as a singular contribution to Acts from a unifi ed source.
By an in-depth study of each quotation, an innovative method of intertextuality, and an eye to the overall agenda of Acts, White proves the importance of reading the Twelve Prophets in unity when it is quoted in Acts, and the integral role it plays in the redemptive-historical plotline of Acts.
