Just who was the author of this work? And what kind of book did he write? How do we classify its genre?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Acts of the Apostles provides an advanced introduction to the study of Acts, covering important questions about authorship, genre, history and theology. Osvaldo Padilla explores fresh avenues of understanding by examining the text in light of the most recent research on the book of Acts itself, philosophical hermeneutics, genre theory and historiography. In addition, Padilla opens a conversation between the text of Acts and postliberal theology, seeking a fully orbed engagement with Acts that is equally attuned to questions of interpretation, history and theology.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block collateral-block collateral-block-product.about.the.author\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block-title\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE AUTHOR\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block-content\" id=\"product.about.the.author\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product attribute biographical_note\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"value  comment more\"\u003eOsvaldo Padilla is Associate professor of New Testament at Beeson Divinity School, Birmingham, Alabama.
