A Private Commentary on the Bible

Volume 1, Acts 1-14, explains the history of the New Testament church from its beginning at the AD 33 Pentecost, to the end of Paul's first missionary journey, ca. AD 49. A reasonable chronology of events is followed, showing the slow but steady progress of the gospel to the Jews, Samaritans and gentile proselytes, God-fearers among the gentiles, and pagan gentiles. Numerous excursus and four appendices on pertinent subjects complete the exposition.

The exposition is based on my translation of the text. The exposition is thorough, examining every aspect of the text, and does not hesitate to answer questions raised by Luke's historical narrative. The theology is conservative, Reformed, and Dispensational, as required by the inspired text and the historical-grammatical (Literal) hermeneutic.
