ReviewsThe first volume of Steve Walton's Word commentary on Acts is a long-awaited publishing achievement. With his accustomed clarity and charity, Walton invites us to sit around the table with the Greek text of Acts in the center, engaging in conversation with a wealth of scholarship old and new. Walton explains the Greek text clearly (with 'intermediate' Greek students in mind), threading his way expertly through the intricacies of Acts interpretation, but never losing sight of the message of the text about the way God acts in the world and its importance for readers today.
