The New Testament Book of Acts is an exciting book to study. This is especially true when one realizes that we are living in the "age" which began in the first few chapters of Acts. Continuing the "Understanding" series, William M. Templeton in his book, Understanding Acts, Volume One, covers in detail the events of what he calls the "transitional days." Theological truths are presented clearly, true to Scripture, with unique applications for modern living. It brings to life the actions of the apostles and disciples and the intervention of God in those days surrounding Pentecost, the embryonic birth of the church, and its explosive growth. In the vein of exegesis, this commentary goes one step further by examining human relationships and behaviors. It not only explains the meaning of verses, but of events and eras. A clearer understanding of this chapter in the church's history provides a wealth of wisdom for the church of today. This book will be invaluable to the pastor, seminary student, Sunday School teacher, and lay person. WILLIAM TEMPLETON has been pastoring churches for thirty-nine years.
