Reviews

[Beth Lorow · Rating 4 out of 5]

I have enjoyed a slow read through the book of Acts and the accompanying commentary by Justo Gonzalez. I believe it's imperative to study Scripture through the lens of different cultures and minority people, and Gonzalez helped me to not only read scripture (and appreciate it) differently but to better value the equalizing work of the Holy Spirit in uniting all believers.

Slanted

Mr. Gonzalez injects political comment and opinions, particularly concerning Hispanics and a dig on climate change, that I found offensive, unsubstantiated and without acknowledging the opposing view. I felt he also suggested readers commit divisive actions within their own church. It did not present the study of the book Acts that I desired. This will be the last book of his I will read.
