Acts: Commentary
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
This ten-volume set of commentaries is written in everyday English. Dr. Adams, using an everyman style, explains and applies biblical truths in the clear, understandable way that typifies his writings. He does not try to duplicate the standard, more technical commentaries but supplements them with the implications of the text for God-honoring counseling and Christian living. This resource includes the commentary on Acts.
Top Highlights
“But was he right in doing so? Were the 120 disciples correct in moving ahead when Jesus had told them to wait for the Spirit? The calling of the apostle Paul as the replacement for Judas seems to have been the way in which God filled the vacancy.” (Pages 5–6)
“the angel gave them just enough information to help them in the situation, not a full explanation” (Page 5)
“It is interesting that through their activities they came to be of one mind.” (Page 5)
“First, since the rulers had threatened them, and since they intended to obey the Lord rather than them, they asked the Lord to please take note of those threats and keep them from backing down.” (Page 32)
“ They were to follow instructions and not try to figure out matters about which they could not know until they occurred.” (Page 4)
