Acts and the General Epistles of the New Testament- Exploring Important Passages in the Bible is Bruce C. Salmon’s latest work in the Spelunking Scripture series. The third installment asks the crucial question: How is it possible to preach on the same scripture passage again and again and have something new to say? Well, it is a matter of spelunking scripture. It is a matter of moving beyond the what question to the so what question of the scripture text.

Each chapter takes a look at Acts and the Epistles in a way that is relevant to our modern world without losing sight of Jesus’ message. Salmon writes: The primary criterion is Christ. The particular passages included in this work were selected based on their importance within the Bible and their themes. In addition to Salmon’s own study, readers will be provided a chance to reflect on the material through the carefully crafted discussion questions.

Spelunking Scripture is a series inspired by Salmon’s sermon notes over the course of 33 years. During that time he had preached more than 1,500 sermons. Acts and the General Epistles explores these familiar passages and messages with fresh eyes.
