Study Commentary on the Acts of the Apostles is exegetically and theologically sound, cogently reasoned and clearly written. Demonstrating Luke's competence as a historian.
Anyone can tell you we are in no short supply of commentaries on every book of the bible, including ACTS. So why read this one? What makes this 600 page book so different than the rest? Simple really. As we grow in our relationship with Christ we are, hopefully, seeking to understand Him more, build better relationships and come to a deeper understanding of our own spirituality and how God has worked in the lives of others, especially those He called to write the gospel messages.
Guy does a wonderful job bringing the spiritual road of Luke to life in a way that the common person can understand and delight in. Guys application is vivid, thought provoking and applicable to us today as it was when Luke preached. It amazes me every time at how what was happening then in our church's is still happening now, but how we are called to handle has not changed. As we walk through each chapter of Luke, we gain more insight into how the Holy Spirit works in our lives and in each other, the church's history, and Paul's mission journeys.
The book is wrote from a Christian perspective. That the scriptures are the living, breathing, word of God. The author dives into background information, purpose of the writings, estimated date of writings and how it is relevant to our lives today.
