Whom God Has Made Clean: A Pronomian Pocket Guide to Acts 10:9–15

By R. M. Bailey

Do the dietary commandments of the Old Testament still apply to believers today? Peter’s vision in Acts 10:9–15 is frequently cited as evidence that they do not. In the vision, Peter sees a sheet descending from heaven, filled with animals considered unclean, and hears a voice instructing him to “rise, kill, and eat.” When he resists, the voice replies, “What God has made clean, do not call common.”

At first glance, this seems to suggest the dietary commandments have been revoked. But is that really what this passage is teaching?

In Whom God Has Made Clean: A Pronomian Pocket Guide to Acts 10:9-15, R. M. Bailey invites readers to take a closer look at Peter’s vision in Acts 10. Challenging popular interpretations, Bailey contends that the passage is not about nullifying God’s commandments, but about welcoming Gentiles into the Messianic community.

Scholarly yet accessible, Whom God Has Made Clean offers a thoughtful pronomian reading of this key passage.
