Through the years there have been many Commentaries on the Book of Acts published, but few have endured in popularity and readability as this work. Gaebelein, a noted Methodist pastor, has carefully crafted a doctrinally sound and reliable commentary on the book of Acts, that will provide invaluable insight into the life and work of Peter, and Paul. It was first published in 1912, and translated into many foreign languages, but has now been updated and revised, leaving the majority of the original material intact. It is easy to see why this work has seen continued success. Photocopies of this work have been published in the past, but this work has included a completely new typeface and page layout that makes it easier to read. The language and format was updated for modern readers, and the English Standard Version (ESV) has been used for a modern translation of scripture. Maps, timelines, and many photographs have been added to provide the most recent scholarly research. An updated bibliography and index of subjects is also provided to assist the user in accessing the material.
