Les Actes d'André, du IIe siècle, comptent parmi les Actes apocryphes d'apôtres les plus anciens. Leur lieu d'origine reste incertain. Jean-Marc Prieur traduit et commente dans ce volume tous les documents qui, en grec, en latin ou en copte, permettent encore d'accéder au texte primitif ou peuvent servir à sa reconstruction. Nous pouvons suivre les pérégrinations, les miracles et la prédication de l'apôtre André de l'Asie mineure jusqu'en Grèce où, à Patras, il convertit la femme du proconsul; par conséquent, celle-ci se refuse à son mari. Il en résulte le martyre de l'apôtre: arrêté, André est crucifié (on connaît la "croix de saint André" ...), tandis que son persécuteur, abandonné par sa femme, finit par se suicider. Comme dans les autres Actes apocryphes, l'apôtre apparaît ici d'après le modèle de l'"homme divin", que le christianisme a repris des religions hellénistiques (et que l'apôtre Paul avait refusé...): c'est le prédicateur qui dans sa parole et ses prodiges révèle la puissance du dieu qu'il annonce. Les discours missionnaires d'André occupent une place importante et véhiculent une lecture particulière du plan mis en oeuvre par Dieu en faveur du salut des humains, et de la manière dont ceux-ci y adhèrent; cette lecture peut nous paraître singulière, mais elle témoigne d'une théologie qui a dû caractériser un milieu ecclésial donné.

"As the earliest narrative source for the origins of Christianity, Acts is of unrivalled importance for understanding earliest Christianity and the mission that originally brought it from Judea and Galilee to Gentiles and even the heart of the Roman empire. This volume is an abridged version of Keener's monumental, four-volume commentary on Acts, the longest and one of the most thorough engagements with Acts in its ancient setting. Sensitive to the work's narrative unity, Keener's commentary is especially known for its direct engagement with the wide range of ancient Jewish and Greco-Roman sources. The original commentary cited some 45,000 references from ancient extrabiblical sources to shed light on the Book of Acts. This accessible edition, aimed at students, scholars, and pastors, makes more widely available the decades of research that Keener has devoted to one of the key texts of Early Christianity"--

This book looks at the Acts of the Apostles through two lenses that highlight the two topics of masculinity and politics. Acts is rich in relevant material, whether this be in the range of such characters as the Ethiopian eunuch, Cornelius, Peter and Paul, or in situations such as Timothy's circumcision and Paul's encounters with Roman rulers in different cities. Engaging Acts from these two distinct but related perspectives illuminates features of this book which are otherwise easily missed. These approaches provide fresh angles to see how men, masculinity, and imperial loyalty were understood, experienced, and constructed in the ancient world and in earliest Christianity.The essays present a range of topics: some engage with Acts as a whole as in Steve Walton's chapter on the way Luke-Acts perceives the Roman Empire, while others focus on particular sections, passages, and even certain figures, such as in an Christopher Stroup's analysis of the circumcision of Timothy. Together, the essays provide a tightly woven and deeply textured analysis of Acts. The dialogue form of essay and response will encourage readers to develop their own critiques of the points raised in the collection as a whole.

Introducing the Gospels and Acts is not just about reading the first five books of the New Testament. It requires entering the first century Mediterranean world where the events in these writings happened. In this short book, Alicia D. Myers takes readers on a journey through the Gospels and Acts, introducing them to the world of Jesus of Nazareth and of the believers who composed and shared stories inspired by him. Myers provides overviews of context and major passages in each canonical work, and also introduces readers to the Apocryphal Gospels and Acts to demonstrate the larger phenomenon of early Christian writing. After situating readers in the literary context of the Gospels and Acts, Myers focuses on the writings themselves, giving basic historical background before digging more deeply into a chosen contextual theme for each work. These six themes include the politics and history of Roman Palestine, expressions of Second Temple Judaism, understandings of identity and human worth in the Roman world, hospitality, Hellenistic philosophies, and the process of canonizing the New Testament. Rather than shying away from difficult and often confusing elements of the Gospels and Acts, Myers invites readers to engage more deeply and situate themselves more fully in the strangeness and surprising familiarity of the Roman world. In this way, readers will see the continuing relevance of the Gospels and Acts for today and learn to be responsible readers of these works for years to come.
