"Darrell Bock's long-anticipated sequel to his fine and detailed
work on the Gospel of Luke is now available. Written 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."--Ben
Witherington III, Asbury Theological Seminary and St. Andrews
University
"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,
students, and their professors."--Steve Walton, London School of
Theology
"This commentary on Acts is a worthy complement to Darrell
Bock's fine commentary on Luke's Gospel. While 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 clear headed in exegetical
decisions, Bock's commentary makes a finecontribution to Acts
criticism. I recommend its use for the seminary classroom and the
pastor's study."--Robert W. Wall, Seattle Pacific University
"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."--W.
Ward Gasque, Pacific Association for Theological Studies, author of
"A History of the Interpretation of the Acts of the Apostles"
