Among the many who deserve thanks I should like to express my gratitude to Asbury Theological Seminary for granting me a sabbatical in the spring of 2019 to do research for this book and to write the bulk of this volume. I also want to thank the excellent staff at Baker Academic, without whose direction, counsel, and encouragement this book would never have seen the light of day. Among them I should name particularly James Kinney, executive vice president of academic publishing; Bryan Dyer, acquisitions editor; and Jennifer Hale, who with patience and professionalism oversaw the final process of readying the manuscript for publication. I appreciate also the careful, painstaking labor that my son, Christopher, has invested in the development of the indexes.
The writing of this volume has given me opportunity to reflect upon the ways in which the love for the Scriptures was nurtured in me from earliest childhood by my family, and so I acknowledge my debt to them all by lovingly dedicating this book to the memory of my maternal grandparents, Roy and Grace Casto.

The book of Acts plays a pivotal role in the New Testament. It stands at the center of the New Testament canon, following the Gospels and immediately preceding the Epistles. It thus forms the bridge between the Gospels and the Epistles (and Revelation). Like the Gospels, it is a foundation document, describing the beginnings of the Christian faith. But it also provides the framework according to which we are to understand the Epistles. It sets forth the apostolic history that serves as the basis and interpretive grid for the apostolic teaching embedded in the New Testament letters. This canonical ordering was clearly intentional, for it involved separating Acts from the Gospel of Luke, even though these two books were written by the same author and Acts was intended to be the second volume of the two-volume work. It is thus the linchpin of the New Testament.
