This is the final volume in the justifiably lauded four-volume
commentary on the Book of Acts, presenting a fresh look at the text
of Codex Bezae and comparing its message with that of the more
familiar Alexandrian text - of which the Codex Vaticanus is taken
as a representative.
Where Codex Bezae is lacunary (after 22.29), other manuscripts that
often support Bezan readings elsewhere are employed. Although based
on the Greek text, the commentary aims to be accessible to those
who are not familiar with Greek. It is intended to publish the
entire Greek text of Codex Bezae following the publication of this
fourth volume. The fourth volume addresses Acts 18.24-28.31, the
chapters that cover the trial of Paul and the last stage of the
mission to the Gentiles, culminating in Paul's unhindered
proclamation of the gospel in Rome.
For each section, there is a side by side translation of the
Vaticanus and Bezan manuscripts (or related alternatives after
22.29), followed by a full critical apparatus which deals with more
technical matters, and finally, a commentary which explores in
detail the differences in the message of the two texts. Of
particular interest in this part of Acts is the evaluation made by
the author of Paul's defence at his successive trials which, it is
argued, is considerably less favourable than is commonly assumed.
