Acts: A Shorter Commentary is an abbreviated paperback edition of the two-volume commentary in the critically-acclaimed International Critical Commentary series.

For those who lack the linguistic and historical grounding, or the time, to deal with the ICC volumes, this Shorter Commentary retains all the important elements of the introduction and commentary, but excludes foreign-language material, technical notes and excurses.

C. K. Barrett is Emeritus Professor of Divinity, University of Durham.
