Acts Commentary

Acts traces the continuing work of the risen and exalted Jesus through the Holy Spirit as the gospel moves from Jerusalem to Judea and Samaria and outward to the nations. It gives sustained attention to the church’s mission, the work of the Spirit, apostolic preaching, persecution, Gentile inclusion, and the spread of the word of God.

This full-length commentary follows Luke’s narrative and theological design while also giving careful attention to historical and geographical setting, chronology, speeches, Old Testament fulfillment, major interpretive questions, and the relationship between Acts and Paul’s letters.
