The book continues the themes of the volume on Acts 1-12, but now focuses, as the book of Acts does, on Paul and his promotion of the Gospel. Wright does well in exploring how many of the themes of Paul's theology as expressed in his letters are found in his speeches in Acts as well, but he also remains sensitive to how Luke is writing the whole narrative and how it ties in with what has been said in the Gospel of Luke as well as Acts 1-12. He also keeps the original audience in mind as well.
There are some particular oddities in the work. The attempt to demonstrate parallels between the end of the Gospel of Luke and the end of Acts is stretching things a bit, although it does highlight some details that might otherwise been missed in Acts 27-28.
On the whole, however, as with the other volumes in the NT For Everyone series, this remains a most excellent and accessible commentary providing the non-specialist an understanding of Acts 13-28 in its original context as well as providing potential applications for faith in the twenty-first century. Worth consideration when studying Acts. (
