GENERAL RIGHTS GUIDE
Dear Publishing Partner,
Welcome to our General Rights catalogue for Frankfurt 2024 for all our imprints Inter-varsity Press, SPCK, Form and Lion Hudson. We are delighted to showcase our new titles from well-known authors and those starting out.
Many of these titles have international potential and it is our great pleasure to see many translated as they are reviewed, whether it is the story of revival in Iran or an Inter-varsity Press title on a Biblical response to societal changes. Our Lion Hudson highly-illustrated titles packed with photography, the Handbook to the Bible and the Atlas of Bible History are refreshed for a 21st century audience, with new scholarly articles and a super design. Also in the four colour range, we have Tom Wright's Wisdom of Jesus ready soon for co-edition partners to join the first printing. We cannot think of a better gift book!
We look forward to meeting many of you at our SPCK Stand in hall 6.0 B53.

What
The Challenge of Acts
Tom Wright
A crash course on the book of Acts and its relevance for Christianity and culture today.
This book offers a brief, clear and incisive introduction to the Acts of the Apostles.
Acts is a substantial book, sitting right in the middle of the New Testament, looking back to the four Gospels and on to the mission of the early churches. It provides a framework for our understanding of the New Testament letters. It also shows us what it means to think of the gospel of Jesus, Israel's Messiah, going out into the world over which Israel's Messiah claims the status of Lord.
Tom Wright explains how this meant confronting the wider culture of the Greek and Roman world, as well as the culture of the Jewish world. All of this is to be found in Acts, providing much food for thought as we ourselves face new questions about gospel and culture in our own day.
