The load-bearing ideas.
Use these themes to trace repetition inside the book before following them across the canon.
THE BIBLE AS A CONNECTED LIBRARY

Acts 1:8 supplies the geographic and theological movement of the book.
Speeches interpret events through Israel's Scriptures rather than functioning as detached transcripts.
The open ending centers the unhindered word rather than concluding every apostolic biography.
