Reviews

Andrews University Seminary Studies
"There is much that is praiseworthy in this commentary. The helpful 'Closer Look' discussions, references, and extensive bibliography (35 pages of sources), and various discussions of opposing positions, make the work a worthwhile addition to the NT scholar's library. . . This commentary on Acts is a piece of exciting writing and loaded with great alliteration. While its nine-hundred-plus pages do not make it a convenient document to carry around for in-between reading, scholars, seminary students, pastors, and educated laypersons would do well to have a copy on their library shelves." Currents in Theology and Mission
"An excellent commentary for extended personal or classroom study of Luke as a rhetorician and historian and for detailed analysis of Acts." Internationale Zeitschriftenschau für Bibelwissenschaft und Grenzgebiete (IZBG)
"This is the most complete and up-to-date commentary on the book of Acts currently available." The Bible Today
"Massive and richly documented. . . The reader will find here a wealth of information and a cogent and well-balanced commentary on the text, including its theological significance. . . Students of the New Testament and the informed lay reader will benefit greatly from this illuminating commentary." Themelios
"An outstanding summary of scholarship on Acts. . . Theological students who want a comprehensive, up-to-date overview of Acts research from an evangelical perspective will find it here." Biblica
"This impressive commentary on the Acts of the Apostles exemplifies Professor Witherington's usual close and cautious reading of the biblical text with careful research in and response to relevant secondary literature. Overall, it is thorough, thoughtful, and balanced, though grounded without apology in his Christian faith perspective on the issues raised by the text."
