This study opens our understanding of the Acts of the Apostles so that "you may know the truth concerning the things of which you have been informed." Acts is the second volume of the history of Christian origins by Luke, a doctor who wrote "an orderly account" of the life of Christ and the early church. The first volume is Luke’s gospel. Acts is a pivotal book in the New Testament, for in Bruce's words "it provided the sequel to the Gospels and the background to the apostolic letters."

This classic volume was originally written as part of Scripture Union’s Bible Study Commentary series. Originally written to encourage regular, systematic personal Bible reading, this commentary can also be adapted as a resource manual for group study.

F.F. Bruce (1910-1990), known as the dean of evangelical scholarship, had a passion for proclaiming the Bible as God’s guide for our lives. He was Rylands Professor of Biblical Criticism and Exegesis at the University of Manchester in England. A prolific writer, his commentary volumes and other works are considered classics. His work New Testament Documents: Are They Reliable was selected by Christianity Today as one of the top 50 books of all time which shaped evangelicals. Bruce combined an immense contribution to evangelical scholarship with a passion for proclaiming the Bible as God’s guide for our lives. He used his great knowledge to explain the Bible simply and clearly.
