 Rating:  - A good place to startWilimon does a nice job at opening the door to the book of Acts, this is a non-technical commentary and it does this job well. It is a good place to start doing research on Acts. It will not take you in the technical aspects of the Greek text, and will be limited in what it does with the history behind the text. Rating: - Uneven but often brilliantVery homiletical. Lyrical and smart. Theologically aware (if often Arminian and Neo-Orthodox -- expected for a United Methodist). Not a verse by verse commentary. Willimon often takes overly large chunks (as much as 2-3 chapters) and gives thematic insights. Often these are highly original and brilliant. Just as often they use the text as a launching point for pet topics that are not central to the text. No one should use this as your first overall commentary on Acts ...

I can't praise this enough: it conveys the excitement of the Early Church all the while making connections with today. Thank you Mr. Willimon!
