I understand what he's saying and I think I agree, especially for other texts, but what about this text here? Acts 1:9 which he reads says he was taken "up" and verses 10 and 11 tell us they were gazing up "into heaven." So I am not sure why the text would say that if the idea is not that it is "up." I'd be very interested to purchase and read a book by him on Acts, though I haven't been able to locate one; I'm not sure he's done that yet.
Anyone who has a fuzzy or fragmented theology of the Bible would do well to listen to these talks by N. T. Wright. He is interesting, scholarly, and to the point.
@xxpowwowbluexx: He did write a commentary on Acts. Entitled "Acts for Everyone" - Tom Wright.

@xxpowwowbluexx Well, I guess the next video somewhat addresses this, at least comments on it.
