Acts (Holman New Testament Commentary | HNTC)

Acts unfolds the incredible story of how God brought the good news of salvation to the world. As an historical treatise, Acts describes the establishment and growth of the early church; as a biographical treatise, it focuses primarily on Paul’s ministry. Luke gives us a glimpse into the first-century and the rise of Christianity, making references to buildings, customs, cities, the role of women in the early church, philosophical and theological speeches, and missionary travels. But Luke is not just interested in the events; he delves deeper into the meaning of these events.
