UBCS: Acts

Each volume in the Understanding the Bible Commentary Series breaks down the
barriers between the ancient and modern worlds so that the power and meaning of
the biblical texts become transparent to contemporary readers. They present a
careful section-by-section exposition of the biblical books with key terms and
phrases highlighted and all Greek transliterated. Notes at the close of each
chapter provide additional textual and technical comments for those who want to
dig deeper. A bibliography as well as Scripture and subject indexes are also
included. Pastors, students, and Bible teachers will find in this series a
commitment to accessibility without sacrificing serious scholarship.
Acts leaves no stone unturned as it brings every feature of interest and debate
about the book of Acts to our attention. Careful and accurate, this incisive
exploration of Luke's account of the events following the resurrection will
shed light on cultural and political realities at the time the church was in
its infancy.
The book of Acts is a current focus of scholarly debate, and it is " valuable to have this substantial contribution [...] careful and accurate in
his background, details, and discussions [...] this is a very sound, all-round
treatment of Acts. - Colin J. Hemer"
Williams has left virtually no stone unturned in his attempt to bring " every feature of interest and debate to the reader's attention [...] this
well-written commentary is recommended to all, teacher and student alike. " - Craig A. Evans
