The Book of Acts is Luke's continuation his account of the good news, showing the ministry of the Christ through the Holy Spirit working in partnership with the Twelve, Paul, and other disciples, to take the good news throughout the Greco-Roman world, by forming local New Testament churches from communities of believers.
Volume 1, Acts 1?14, explains the history of the New Testament church from its beginning at the AD 33 Pentecost, to the end of Paul's first missionary journey, ca. AD 49. A reasonable chronology of events is followed, showing the slow but steady progress of the gospel to the Jews, Samaritans and gentile proselytes, God-fearers among the gentiles, and pagan gentiles. Numerous excursus and four appendices on pertinent subjects complete the exposition.
The exposition is based on my translation of the text. The exposition is thorough, examining every aspect of the text, and does not hesitate to answer questions raised by Luke's historical narrative. The theology is conservative, Reformed, and Dispensational, as required by the inspired text and the historical-grammatical (Literal) hermeneutic.
