This article reviews research and a number of writings on the book of Acts. Discontent is voiced in many of these writings with traditional exegetical methods. There is the promise that newer methods can lead to more fruitful results of reading the New Testament in general and Acts in particular. Schnabel divides his discussion about new methods of reading into six areas: historical analysis, literary, rhetorical, and narrative analysis, sociological analysis, feminist approaches, postcolonial approaches, and canonical and theological interpretations. To these methods another can be added—a synthetic interpretation.
