This volume highlights the sustained focus in Acts on the resurrection of Christ, bringing clarity to the theology of Acts and its purpose. Brandon Crowe explores the historical, theological, and canonical implications of Jesus's resurrection in early Christianity and helps readers more clearly understand the purpose of Acts in the context of the New Testament canon. He also shows how the resurrection is the fulfillment of the Old Testament Scriptures. This is the first major book-length study on the theological significance of Jesus's resurrection in Acts.

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

"Theologically informed, exegetically sensitive, and canonically aware"

"The Hope of Israel fills a lacuna in Acts scholarship by arguing that the resurrection of Jesus is the binding theological idea in Luke-Acts. Crowe makes a compelling case for recognizing Acts' contribution to biblical theology and how it connects with other New Testament works to form a cohesive whole. Written in clear prose, this book will be of relevance to scholar and practitioner alike."
--Sean Adams, University of Glasgow

"Crowe offers an approach to the resurrection of Christ in Acts that provides a hermeneutic guide for untangling a number of knotty issues in the book. First, he shows how the resurrection is 'a major artery connecting various events and passages in Acts.' Second, he explores the implications of Luke's narrative presentation of this theme for biblical and systematic theology. This is a remarkably helpful resource for reflection on the theology of Acts and its connection with the rest of Scripture."
--David Peterson, Moore Theological College, Sydney, Australia (emeritus)

"The Hope of Israel breaks significant new ground with the comprehensive treatment it provides of the central place of Christ's resurrection in Acts. Especially valuable, marked by numerous important insights, is Crowe's substantial discussion of the theological significance of the resurrection. This book is an impressive achievement. I commend it most highly."
--Richard B. Gaffin Jr., Westminster Theological Seminary (emeritus)

"With careful exegesis, informed by the salvation-historical framework of Acts, Crowe persuasively demonstrates the centrality and saving significance of the resurrection of Christ in the book of Acts. This wide-ranging study particularly highlights the resurrection of Christ as the fulfillment of the Scriptures in the theology of Acts. Comprehensive, clear, and highly recommended!"
--Alan J. Thompson, Sydney Missionary and Bible College, Croydon, Australia

"A most stimulating read. Crowe puts his finger on one of the most salient themes in Acts, if not the entire New Testament. The book of Acts richly demonstrates how a great deal of the history of redemption hangs on Christ's resurrection and subsequent enthronement as cosmic Lord. This crisply written project is theologically informed, exegetically sensitive, and canonically aware. No doubt Crowe's work will serve students, pastors, and scholars for years to come. Excellent work!"
--Benjamin Gladd, Reformed Theological Seminary

    Note that the page numbers in the kindle edition are off (hence, one star off).
    The book itself is well written, five stars – a solid survey of resurrection in the book of Acts. Easy to read, well researched and good insights. Crowe finds that Jesus' resurrection (which he understands to be a physical event) has a central place in the book of Acts and is a message of hope of what God has done and will do.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Book
    Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2023
    I just finished reading this book last week as part of my Ph.D. studies at Liberty University. Crowe's approach to the issue of the resurrection was excellent. Not since reading Dr. Habermas's book about the resurrection have I found one that dealt with the accounts in Acts so thoroughly.

    Crowe does an amazing job detailing the accounts, both from the casual reader's point of view to the theological reasons the resurrection took place, just as reported by Luke and those whose speeches Luke included.

    I will purchase a copy of this book for my pastor next week. I hope you do as well.

  • Philip Mohr
    5.0 out of 5 stars Exegetically Thorough, Theologically Rich
    Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2020
    In a sustained treatment of the Book of Acts (and some of the Gospel of Luke), Crowe's Hope of Israel successfully demonstrates and helpfully elucidates the centrality of Jesus's resurrection in the work and proclamation of the earliest Christians. Then, blending biblical exegesis and theological reasoning, Crowe moves to consider several dogmatic implications foregrounded by the emphasis on Jesus's resurrection in Acts. Overall, his cross-disciplinary insights reveal unifying themes of Acts, of the New Testament—and of the Old and New Testaments together!

    The scholarship is excellent. Still, this book is not merely for scholars; pastors and interested students will find here an easily accessible wealth of exegetical and dogmatic insight.
