Reviews

Putting this review out because of how helpful these commentaries have been for me. If you want deep historical and linguistic context, but in a more modern and easy to read way, Swindoll’s commentaries are great.

Classic Swindoll !!

[Maggie Boyd · Rating 4 out of 5]

Swindoll provides historical context for the events in the book of Acts as well as providing an application section, giving readers "how to" guidance for turning what they've learned into actions and behavior changes. Those unfamiliar with the customs and history of the time will find this especially helpful.

Lots of background and context.

Absolutely recommend this commentary. It gives so much historical background that you can’t help but insert yourself into the story. It makes you realize the importance of evangelism in the life of the believer.

Chuck Swindoll’s commentaries are the best around. I have read all the gospels and just finished Acts. I am about to begin Romans. Each one is so helpful in understanding the scriptures and applying it to your life. Love them all!

Best since Ironside!

Very thorough but understandable for lay people like me. I would recommend this study to both the Bible scholar and new believer.
