Here’s a perfect book on Acts for Bible students. Whether you are doing personal study, preparing a Sunday School lesson, or are a busy pastor preparing a sermon, this book can be a help to you. It’s the perfect length to really give help while not being so massive as many modern commentaries are. Mr. Shade has academic credentials, but did not parade his learning. His years as a missionary add another dimension that is especially dynamic for a commentary on Acts.

His Introduction is not of extreme length but touches on many issues usually found in such a chapter. I found it easy to agree with him on many points. He is well read, but gets quickly to the heart of the matter. One feature of the work is that it comes from a dispensational perspective. That’s not going to dominate the commentary but in a few spots it will provide insights many modern works won’t give you.

The commentary proper is helpful. There are even a few pictures and maps to help illustrate the work. I warmly recommend this work.

I received this book free from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.
