5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great reference tool
Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2016

The book is one I had to order for a class I am taking online. I love the details and insight it gives me into the book of Acts. This is not the boring read a lot of Bible commentaries can be. I do skim as much as possible when I read most books of this sort, and it is not a sit down and read type of book, but one that is great for referencing. It is an awesome tool to have in your Bible reference library. I have used others in this series, and many have different authors. Some are more difficult to read and some are more interesting, but the quality of this series as a reference source is very reliable and one I highly recommend. The Acts volume is very well written and very readable. I am really pleased with this commentary.

I teach Bible studies at our local Church and find this book of great value. Polhill doesn't make a stretch of Luke's story of the start of the Church. Well rganized and insightful. This was also my Text for BIBL 384 at Liberty University. Enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Commentary!
Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2013

I am currently a college student enrolled a private university and I enrolled in Acts of the Apostles class where this was the required read. It has a great overview of each verse and theme as well as outline of history, author, etc. excerpts in the beginning. Besides the NIV series (which is very easy to read and understand), I would have to say this is my second favorite series of commentaries.

I had to get this book for one of my Bible minor classes, but it was a really well-written commentary on the book of Acts. It dealt with controversial interpretations with a good balance of truth and grace. I had to read the whole thing, but it wasn't even boring. Great resource!

Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2009

Polhill has produced an excellent commentary on the Acts of the Apostles, or as Spurgeon calls it The Acts of the Holy Spirit. The book is fresh, stimulating and comprehensive. I heartily recommend it to all preachers, students of the Word and indeed anyone who wants to examine Acts, and even better, who wants to live it out.

Great commentary. The only thing keeping it from a 5 is sometimes he is too deep and gets confusing. Mostly that is in the introduction but there is a little in the actual commentary also.
