About Acts 1–9:42 (Volume 37A):

“The first volume of Steve Walton’s Word commentary on Acts is a long-awaited publishing achievement. With his accustomed clarity and charity, Walton invites us to sit around the table with the Greek text of Acts in the center, engaging in conversation with a wealth of scholarship old and new. Walton explains the Greek text clearly (with ‘intermediate’ Greek students in mind), threading his way expertly through the intricacies of Acts interpretation, but never losing sight of the message of the text about the way God acts in the world and its importance for readers today.” ―Loveday Alexander, professor emerita, University of Sheffield

“Steve Walton is a master of exegetical conversation with rich detail and a teacher’s voice. This volume is a valuable contribution to Luke-Acts scholarship and will be needed on the shelves of pastors, teachers, scholars and students.” ―Sarah Harris, research fellow, Carey Baptist College, New Zealand

“In this first volume of three, Steve Walton’s expertise on the book of Acts is supremely evident. Careful and thorough, Walton’s commentary keeps our eyes firmly fixed on the text of Acts, while illuminating key historical and theological matters, as well as the text’s richly Jewish context. In doing so, Walton has provided an invaluable resource to students, scholars, and pastors alike for many years to come.” ―Brittany E. Wilson, associate professor of New Testament, Duke University
