Trajectories in the Book of Acts, edited by Paul Alexander, Jordan D. May, and Robert G. Reid is now available from Wipf and Stock here.
I’m also thrilled with the cover art, although I found one thing still yet to change. But here is the cover:
I am very interested in any responses to my chapter: “Spirit Empowerment as Resistance Discourse: An Imperial-Critical Reading of Acts 2.” The volume will also be available through Amazon and other booksellers in 6-8 weeks.
Special thanks to Amos Yong and Martin Mittelstadt for their blurbs.

Do you think that you could post a table of contents? I couldn’t find one at the Wipf & Stock site.
Charles, excellent point. I revised the above post to reflect the chapters. Thanks for pointing this out.
Thanks Rob. One of my areas of interest is Acts in general and I am working on Acts 15 and the Jerusalem Council in particular. Although I don’t see anything specifically on Acts 15, I will probably try and pick up this volume in the near future. Thanks again.
Congrats Rob on getting published. Keep up the good work.
