Here at last is the keenly awaited new Commentary on Luke-Acts by Loveday Alexander. In her extended introduction Professor Alexander tackles head on the key issues: Who wrote the book of Acts? For whom was it written? When was it written? Where was it written? And basically What is The Book of Acts'.Acts is the second part of a two volume work which describes the events after The Ascension of Jesus into heaven. Alexander examines both internal and external evidence for this selective history of the Early Church told from a Christian standpoint. But at all times,Alexander emphasizes that this is the book of Acts of The Holy Spirit and an account of the appearance of God's salvation in human history. But the focus of the book of Acts is predominantly on St Peter and St Paul.In the course of her detailed and most illuminating commentary Professor Alexander shows her complete familiarity with contemporary scholarship but also regards this as a commentary to be used not just by ivory-tower scholars but by those whose mission is to teach and preach the Gospel.
