Acts Hardcover - 2007

by Darrell L. Bock


From the publisher

Respected New Testament scholar Darrell L. 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.

The result is a guide that clearly and meaningfully brings this important New Testament book to life for contemporary readers.

From the rear cover

"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 University of St. Andrews

"This commentary on Acts is a worthy complement to 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. Judicious, learned, reverent, as clearly written as it is clear headed 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."
--Robert W. Wall, Seattle Pacific University

"Acts provides an enormous challenge to commentators, and we must be thankful to 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. 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

"Bock's interpretation is consistently clear, balanced, and well informed on contemporary scholarship. This commentary will no doubt become a standard on Acts. . . . For student and pastor alike, this would be a good 'first buy, ' when looking for a commentary on Acts."
--Mark L. Strauss, Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society
