Acts

New International Biblical Commentary

by David J. Williams

The International Biblical Commentary Series uses the New International Version of the Bible and is an evangelical scholarly treatment of each book of the Bible. This work on Acts by David Williams approaches the book as historical, yet takes seriously the discussion surrounding this aspect of the book. The Introduction takes into account issues of date, occasion, sources and historical accuracy. The commentary itself focuses on each event in Acts and comes with copious notes. A good commentary for the scholar and advanced lay person. "The book of Acts is a current focus of scholarly debate, and it is valuable to have [Williams'] substantial contribution . . . careful and accurate in his background, details, and discussions . . . this is a very sound, all-round treatment of Acts."
—Colin J. Hemer† "Williams has left virtually no stone unturned in his attempt to bring every feature of interest and debate to the reader's attention . . . this well-written commentary is recommended to all, teacher and student alike."
—Craig A. Evans

[Philip Tadros]

very good and interesting series

I like the understanding the Bible series, as it provides good insights on many sections of the relevant commentary. The headings and verse sections outlines are helpful and the writer backs up thoughts and ideas from other connected verses in the Bible.
You may not see eye to eye with everything the writer writes or suggests, but the book is simple to read, follow and understand the concepts, especially the vital parts that form the basis of Christianity.
I would recommend this book, especially this series to anyone with a keen interest in studying the Word.
