There is a thoughtful introduction which provides a useful and comprehensive context, without overwhelming the reader with academic detail – although the author is clearly familiar with all relevant research and viewpoints. Thus, Professor Alexander provides Greek translations only when these illuminate the original meaning. Her deep knowledge of the text, and of the Bible generally, means she can provide an interesting and original insight for nearly every passage. To provide but one example, the shipwreck narrative of Acts Chapter 27 is beautifully amplified by cross references and allusions to the Book of Jonah and Psalm 107, while also emphasising Paul’s sacramental role during the journey. This commentary therefore enables all readers to understand the structure and purpose of Acts, the character of Luke its author, but above all the nature of the very early Church, the complexity of the first century Roman Empire, and the varied philosophies of the Mediterranean world. It is ideal for ministers who need a reliable guide for preaching and for Bible study groups, for there are points for reflection or prayer pointers after every periscope. Each reader cannot fail to gain in understanding how the Good News was proclaimed in those first exciting decades after the resurrection of our Lord.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReviewed by Alice Burdett\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2022-04-05T13:07:29+01:00","created_at":"2022-03-29T11:38:25+01:00","vendor":"Loveday Alexander","type":"EPUB","tags":["Centenary Classics","Centenary Collection","Kindle","May-22","PBC","The People's Bible Commentary"],"price":999,"price_min":999,"price_max":999,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":999,"compare_at_price_min":999,"compare_at_price_max":999,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":41462936469695,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"9781800391611","requires_shipping":false,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"People's Bible Commentary: A Bible commentary for every day - Acts","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":999,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":999,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"9781800391611","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781800391611.jpg?v=1660809507"],"featured_image":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781800391611.jpg?v=1660809507","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":25675687755967,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.656,"height":1524,"width":1000,"src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781800391611.jpg?v=1660809507"},"aspect_ratio":0.656,"height":1524,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781800391611.jpg?v=1660809507","width":1000}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eActs is the story of the birth of the church and the beginnings of its journey around the world.
