Editorial reviews

Dr. Bill Creasy of Logos Bible Study uses a literary, historical approach to examine and enliven the bible for modern listeners. Dr. Creasy draws on his studies, travels, and personal anecdotes to depict a vivid picture of the works of scripture. Somewhere between a sermon and a college lecture, he delivers these audiobooks with authority but a pleasantly friendly voice and a touch of fun, using contemporary references.

Dr. Creasy discusses Acts in depth, putting it in context as a continuation of the Gospel of Luke, why Luke was writing it and what audience he was writing for. He talks about the importance of this book historically and spiritually as it accounts the early Christian church and the Apostles who spread it.

Publisher's summary

Acts is Luke’s sequel to his Gospel. Like his Gospel, Acts is addressed to a particular man, Theophilus, and it tells the story of the birth of the Church. After Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection, he ascends into heaven to sit at the right hand of the Father. Ten days later, the Holy Spirit arrives in Jerusalem on the Jewish feast of Pentecost, and the Church is born. Acts follows the Church from its birth in Jerusalem through its exponential growth and inevitable persecution, led by Saul of Tarsus.

Incredibly, Saul later confronts the risen and glorified Christ on the road to Damascus, where he becomes a believer. And not just any old believer! Saul becomes Paul, the great Apostle to the Gentiles. From Chapter 9 onward, Acts follows Paul on his three missionary journeys as he takes the Gospel into Asia Minor and Europe. In the end, Paul evangelizes all of Asia Minor, a good chunk of Europe, and he writes 13 of the 27 books of the New Testament. This is an incredible story, and no one tells it better than Logos Bible Study’s Dr. Bill Creasy.

Stellar presentation of an important book

Once again Dr. Creasy has enhanced my understanding of a familiar book through scholarly use of geopolitical and historic context. Although I have studied Acts in the past, this time around I learned more about Paul and his companions than ever before and as a result, for me they are now real and not just paper personalities. As always, I appeciate his clear presentation liberally flavored with good humor. Anyone looking for a Bible study that they can relate to needs to look into this series.

Paul, as described by Dr. Creasy

Bill Creasy puts you right next to the Apostle Paul as a man, and as one touched by God , who will write 13 of the 27 books in the New Testament. Here, you will meet a man who hated Jesus and all His followers then came to Love Jesus with all his heart and soul. Loved listening to Luke then Acts by Bill Creasy, and you will too!

Not the theologically correct

The author states that the reason Judas betrayed Jesus and handed him over to the Jews was because Judas wanted to see a friendly conversation between the high priest and Jesus so that Jesus would become the conquering king that the Jews were waiting for. The Jews read the Old Testament and surmised a conquering king would return, from the line of David, to the Jews and free them from the Roman oppression.
This premise cannot be true because in John 13:2 the Bible states that Satan entered Judas. Satan being the great enemy of Jesus, is present to thwart any plan of God’s or Jesus’ and inflict maximum pain.
I have stopped listening to this book two chapters in because outright wrong theology is very dangerous and leads people astray.

Engaging lecture series

I have listened to several of Dr. Creasy’s Bible studies. He has a very engaging style, goes into historical context and makes the characters accessible. I feel like I know Paul’s personality now and can feel his passion for Christ. Can’t wait to start Romans!

overall pretty good.

I really liked the whole study, except chapters 18 and 19 seem like they're the start of another study and it leaves you with questions. It was cool to hear how the Apostles moved about in the ancient world though. Made it seem more real.

Excellent for getting an overview

I love listening! I have been teaching through the Bible myself, and I am disagreeing with some of the speculations Dr. Creasy make. The repeting introduction I need to skip so it won't drive me crazy. Except this I really, really enjoy listening, and I learn a lot! Highly recommended!

Eye opening experience!

this was a very eye-opening experience for me. I'm grateful that Dr Creasy put such time and effort into studying and understanding scripture. I plan on continuing with his series of different books of God's word as I move forward into understanding.

As with all Der Creasy’s lessons... this is wonderful

Whether you are a believer and striving to deepen your faith, or a non believer who wants to understand the most important book in history... Dr Creasy make the Bible come to life. I’ve listened to hundreds of audio books and read many more. These are definitely worthy of your time.

Start with Genesis and work your way through as the Bible was meant to be read, as a book inspired by God. It will be fun and insightful regardless for your background.

So many answers to so many questions

I have always wanted to better understand the origin and religious dynamics that brought about the 'great divide' between the Jews and Christians. Dr. Bill Creasey's presentation of the book of Acts provided a detailed and vivid account of these significant events in a manor that answered all my questions. Bravo!
