About the author

Reverend Doctor George Campbell Morgan D.D. was a British evangelist, preacher and a leading Bible scholar. A contemporary of Rodney "Gipsy" Smith, Morgan preached his first sermon at age 13. He was the pastor of Westminster Chapel in London from 1904 to 1919, and from 1933 to 1943, pausing briefly between to work at Biola in Los Angeles, which he eventually handed over to Martyn Lloyd Jones.

Morgan was a prolific author, writing over 60 works in his lifetime, not counting the publishing of some of his sermons as booklets and pamphlets. In addition to composing extensive biblical commentaries, and writing on myriad topics related to the Christian life and ministry, his essay entitled "The Purposes of the Incarnation" is included in a famous and historic collection called The Fundamentals—a set of 90 essays edited by the famous R. A. Torrey, who himself was successor to D. L. Moody both as an evangelist and pastor—which is widely considered to be the foundation of the modern Christian Fundamentalist movement.

"The Acts of the Apostle," by Campbell Morgan is about the fifth book of the Bible. It takes a deep dive about Christianity. The way the book is explained is clear and easy to understand. It presents clear evidence by using the Bible and historic events.

I really like the way Campbell Morgan explains why some parts happened in the Bible. I recommend this book to Christians who can't understand certain parts of The Acts of the apostles or those who are new to Christianity. However, I do disagree on some of his evaluations, for example his claim that "Christianity is mysticism." Overall, the book is pretty good.
