Designed for use by ministers, preachers, teachers, students and church leaders, the Epworth Commentaries are based on the Revised English Bible and relate the texts in their ancient settings to the needs of Christians in a multi-racial, multi-faith society.

This commentary takes the reader through questions of authorship, recipients, date and purpose, considers the literary structure, the nature of history writing and the teaching of Acts, and provides the information and perspective necessary for reading to best effect what Professor Dunn believes is the most exciting book in the New Testament.
