This commentary, like each in the series, is designed to serve the church--through aid in preaching, teaching, study groups, and so forth--and demonstrate the continuing intellectual and practical viability of theological interpretation of the Bible.<br/><br/>"This series places the accent on 'theological' and reflects current interpretive ferment marked by growing resistance to the historical-critical project. It may be that scripture interpretation is too important to be left to the exegetes, and so a return to the theologians. With a focus on the theological tradition, this series holds the promise of asking interpretive questions that are deeply grounded in the primal claims of faith. The rich promise of the series is indicated by the stature and erudition of the commentators."<br/>--<b>Walter Brueggemann</b>, Columbia Theological Seminary<br/><br/><b>Praise for previous volumes in the series<br/><br/></b>"What Jaroslav Pelikan offers us [in <i>Acts</i>] . . . is neither a commentary nor a book of homilies, but rather a set of observations on what phrases and passages in Acts might remind us of in the later history of Christian doctrine. As a sampler of vintage Pelikan tidbits, it is a scintillating piece of work, a tour de force in the history of dogma, a kaleidoscope of brilliant reflections by a generous and faithful Christian scholar."<br/>--<b>Brian E. Daley, SJ</b>, <i>Pro Ecclesia<br/><br/></i>"The editors could not have found a more qualified person to probe the thick pages of the history of interpretation and Christian doctrine [in <i>Acts</i>]. One might expect a wooden catalog of ancient comments . . . but Pelikan serves up richer fare. Drawing on a stunning array of theological writings, he looks beyond the text of Acts to themes and ultimately dogmas hovering over the text. . . . For many [readers], general editor Reno's vision for the Brazos series will be satisfied: 'We must rehabilitate our exegetical imaginations.'"<br/>--<b>James Howell</b>, <i>Christian Century<br/><br/></i>General editor: <b>R.
