Acts (5)

The Story of God Bible Commentary

by Dean Pinter, Scot McKnight (Editor)

A new commentary for today's world , The Story of God Bible Commentary explains and illuminates each passage of Scripture in light of the Bible's grand story. The first commentary series to do so, SGBC offers a clear and compelling exposition of biblical texts, guiding everyday readers in how to creatively and faithfully live out the Bible in their own contexts. Its story-centric approach is ideal for pastors, students, Sunday school teachers, and laypeople alike. Each volume employs three main, easy-to-use sections designed to help readers live out God's —Acts— The question of Luke's purpose for writing this book has long been a topic of debate among Christians. Some see it as an apologetic defense against the misunderstandings of the Roman Empire. Others maintain that Luke's audience was primarily Christian, and the story of Acts offers pastoral encouragement. Still others believe that Acts was written to address theological issues facing the early church. In the end, no single purpose may be able to account for all the rich complexity that exists in Acts. Edited by Scot McKnight and Tremper Longman III, and written by a number of top-notch theologians, The Story of God Bible Commentary series will bring relevant, balanced, and clear-minded theological insight to any biblical education or ministry.

I enjoyed studying the book of Acts the past 8 months for an Instagram series I did with InterVarsity This commentary was essential for developing the post content!

Used this as a reference throughout this Acts study, and loved the extra context it provided! Didn’t give 5 stars because it is a bit wordy, and some times it felt like it veered a little bit topically, based on other commentaries I consulted or referenced, but I still used it every week.
