Following his authoritative two-volume
commentary on Luke in the acclaimed BECNT series, Darrell Bock now
provides a substantive yet highly accessible commentary on Acts in this
latest addition to the series. With extensive research and thoughtful
chapter-by-chapter exegesis, Bock leads readers through all aspects of
the book of Acts--sociological, historical, and theological--to help
them better understand and explain this key New Testament book.
As with all BECNT volumes, Acts features the author's detailed
interaction with the Greek text. This commentary admirably achieves the
dual aims of the series--academic sophistication with pastoral
sensitivity and accessibility--making it a useful tool for students,
professors, and pastors. The user-friendly design includes shaded-text
chapter introductions summarizing the key themes of each thought unit.
