Bock provides a substantive yet highly accessible commentary on Acts in this latest addition to the acclaimed BECNT 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. His work blends academic depth with readability, making it a useful tool for students, teachers, scholars, and pastors alike. A user-friendly design with shaded text and translations of the Greek text make this commentary engaging and easy to use. <br/><br/>The result is a guide that clearly and meaningfully brings this important New Testament book to life for contemporary readers.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>"Darrell Bock's long-anticipated sequel to his fine and detailed work on the Gospel of Luke is now available. Writing in a clear and engaging manner that most anyone can grasp, yet without skimping on interaction with scholarly discussion, Bock manages to critically analyze the huge corpus of literature on Acts with grace and finesse and to make his own contributions along the way. This commentary will serve us well for many years to come."--<b>Ben Witherington III, </b> Asbury Theological Seminary and St. Andrews University<br/><br/>"Acts provides an enormous challenge to commentators, and we must be thankful to Darrell Bock for this fine, accessible commentary on the book. He is particularly strong in giving careful attention to the exegetical payoff of the meanings of words and syntax. He provides judicious and accurate summaries of a wide range of scholarly viewpoints in English, French, and German--particularly valuable for those who read only English--and good critical engagement with these views. The commentary is well organized, and it is easy to navigate to a particular section or point of discussion. It will be of great value to pastors as well as students and their professors."--<b>Steve Walton, </b>London School of Theology<br/><br/>"This commentary on Acts is a worthy complement to Darrell Bock's fine commentary on Luke's Gospel. While the text is unfailingly traditional in its interests and scope, Bock remains in touch with today's church by seeking to facilitate a robust conversation between Acts and contemporary readers. I especially appreciate his attention to the theological cast of Acts. Judicious, learned, reverent, as clearly written as it is clearheaded in exegetical decisions, Bock's commentary makes a fine contribution to Acts criticism. I recommend its use for the seminary classroom and the pastor's study."--<b>Robert W. Wall, </b>Seattle Pacific University<br/><br/>"Bock has written a superb commentary on this pivotal New Testament document. He has mastered the narrative of Acts as well as contemporary scholarship, and he has done so in a manner that is eminently accessible to the pastor and serious nonspecialist. He draws on the disciplines of theology, history, and sociology to bring the text to life. I recommend this book with enthusiasm."--<b>W. Ward Gasque, </b> Pacific Association for Theological Studies, author of <i>A History of the Interpretation of the Acts of the Apostles</i><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Darrell L.
