About this book

John William McGarvey's commentary on the Acts of the Apostles, first published in 1892, was written for ordinary students of Scripture as much as for preachers. McGarvey works through Luke's history of the early church with careful attention to its places, times, and words, raising and answering questions passage by passage in a clear, patient, and reverent style.
