The Book of Acts to be discussed during annual Bible lecture at Bluffton

During the presentation, he’ll bring two arguments about the Book of Acts, one from British New Testament scholar C.H. Dodd and the other from Canadian Mennonite New Testament scholar Matthew Theisen, into conversation with each other. Sider will contrast the arguments and discuss how each contributes to our understanding of a central theme of Acts.
