Recenzii
Using intertextuality to interpret basileia-ecotopia units in Acts, Michael Trainor exhibits the voice and presence of Earth in the foundational account of the spread of the Jesus movement "to the end of the earth." Acts moves beyond the focus on wealth produced by Earth's gifts in Luke to the creation of inclusive social and cultural groups by the Spirit of God's agents on Earth. God's Spirit and tasks are open to all in this ecological mission, no matter where they live or whatever their circumstances of daily life might be. A new interpretation of Acts that contains breath-taking moments of interpretation!
What does one expect of a new reading of a biblical book? My answer is that I want my eyes to be opened to see familiar things afresh, to have new experiences, and to have my heart quickened. In this challenging book Michael Trainor powerfully opens eyes, stimulates the mind, and warms the heart. He clearly presents his new readings and fully illustrates them, providing helpful conclusions after each major section. What a marvelous book!
In this wonderful book, Michael Trainor combines an intertextual approach to the Bible with sensitivity to Earth's presence in both Acts and the everyday context of the contemporary reader, in order to discern God's ecological intent to include the whole creation - and not just humankind - in the coming Kingdom. Attracted to the reality-transforming imagination of Jesus, the ultimate Earth's Child, readers of today can also become Earth's children, sharing their Master's passion for God's inclusive reign of justice and peace. Clearly written, convincingly argued, and thoroughly dialogical, Trainor offers us a gift that will be appreciated by all those interested in biblical interpretation and caring for God's creation.
At a pivotal moment of environmental catastrophe, Michael Trainor listens for Earth's voice in the Book of Acts, offering biblical scholars and preachers a way to engage Acts to help us to respond faithfully to the most pressing challenge of our time. While his previous commentary on Luke focused on engagement with 'Earth's Child', Trainor now considers the disciples, 'Earth's Children', to reveal a way to biblically inform ecological scholarship. His ecological reading of Acts is a sophisticated complement to existing literary and historical exegetical treatments, that could not come at a more timely moment.
