The MacArthur New Testament Commentary: Acts 13-28

MacArthur New Testament Commentary Series

by John F. MacArthur Jr.

The book of Acts is the first volume of church history. It connects the early church to the ministry of Jesus and provides the backdrop for the New Testament epistles. The book's focus on the church and the spread of the gospel makes studying Acts a must for any believer serious about living out the Great Commission. Join John MacArthur as he explains each verse in a way that is both doctrinally precise and intensely practical. Taking into account the cultural, theological, and Old Testament contexts of each passage, MacArthur tackles interpretive challenges and fairly evaluates differing views, giving the reader confidence in his conclusions. The MacArthur New Testament Commentary series comes from the experience, wisdom, and insight of one of the most trusted ministry leaders and Bible scholars of our day. Each volume was written to be as comprehensive and accurate as possible, dealing thoroughly with every key phrase and word in the Scripture without being unnecessarily technical. This commentary will help to give a better, fuller, richer understanding of God's Word, while challenging the reader to a vibrant personal spiritual walk. A great resource for pastors, teachers, leaders, students, or anyone desiring to dig deeper into Scripture

While I've always appreciated the writings of Paul in the Bible, this commentary added so much information about the man himself that I gained new insight into his life and his incredible ministry.

Always helpful. Not the best MacArthur commentary I have read though.

11 Commentaries I used cover to cover through an expositional series through the book of Acts. Of course, this ranking doesn't take into account that some that are lower were higher in specific ways, but all of these "made the cut" for me to spend the time each week to read.

Good sermons on the passages in Acts. They edited to feel more like a commentary. I appreciated the devotional content for application, but would not recommend it as a detailed or academic treatment of the text

Such a great help as I was studying through Acts! I've used commentaries as reference books before, but never read them all the way through and it was so helpful and I learned so much!

[Robert Johnson · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Apostle Paul was incredible! The Jewish leadership completely blind and corrupt.

[Mykaël Arsenault · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dans ce deuxième tome sur le livre des Actes des Apôtres, John MacArthur, comme toujours, nous aide à bien comprendre les vérités de ce précieux livre de la Bible. Il explique les versets de manière simple afin que tous puissent comprendre, mais tout en le faisant de manière profonde. Je le recommande.

What I have learned from MacArthur's commentary is that he does not believe in the empowerment of the Holy Spirit and that the Baptism of the Holy Spirit was only for the Apostles. I totally disagree.
