The Acts of the Apostles

An insightful and expert commentary on The Acts of the Apostles, with a detailed examination of Paul's missionary journeys and the establishment of the early church. This is the second volume in the St Giles Commentary Series, following M J Flower's 'The King and the Kingdom: A Devotional Commentary on the Gospel of Matthew'. The apostle Paul writes to Timothy: "Present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth". This is the ambition of Luke, the author of The Acts of the Apostles - and of all of us who wait on the Lord to receive from Him a measure of understanding of His Word. In this book, the precursor to commentaries on Paul's letters, M J Flower reflects on the establishment of the early church as recounted by Luke, and illuminates the events of Acts with insightful expertise that assists us "to submit to the guidance and inspiration of the Holy Spirit as we look more closely and more intensely at what He has given us in His word."
