Origin and purpose of Acts -- Paul in Acts -- Select bibliography -- Text, exposition, and notes -- The birth of the church (1:1-5:42) -- Persecution and expansion (6:1-9:31) -- The acts of Peter and beginnings of gentile Christianity (9:32-12:24) -- Church extension from Antioch and apostolic decree at Jerusalem (12:25-15:35) -- Paul leaves Antioch and moves to the Aegean world (15:36-19:20) -- Paul plans to visit Rome and gets there by an unforeseen route (19:21-28:31).
Subject: First published in 1954, F. F. Bruce's volume on the Book of Acts in the NICNT series has stood for more than forty years as a standard commentary on Acts. In keeping with the effort to be faithful to the description "new" in the series title, however, Bruce undertook a thorough revision of this commentary before his death in 1990. Expanded and fully updated, this volume now reflects the best elements of recent notable contributions to the study of Luke Acts as well as the author's own deepened understanding gained from years of further reflection on the text. Whereas the first edition used the text of the American Standard Version of 1901, this revision is based on Bruce's own fresh translation of the Greek text. The result is a work that makes the walls between the first and twentieth centuries transparent and enables readers to hear not only the voice of Luke but also the Word of God. - Jacket flap.
