Good Commentary - Need additional languages
Obviously, a very scholarly work--however, there is signficant use of untranslated German (and some untranslated Latin and French as well). Those who have only English and Greek may find this disappointing. Also, C.K. Barrett wrote two volumes. Volume I covers Acts 1-14; II covers 15-28. Although the book description does not say so, what you will receive when you...

I prefer Witherington; ICC is scholarly, but too scholarly
In agreement with other reviewers, I have to say that by not speaking theological technical German, I am left suspecting that I am missing out on Barrett's best points, becuase he seems to clinch each arguement with lots of german quotations!

This review is from: Acts 1-14, A Critical and Exegetical Commentary on the Acts of the Apostles (International Critical Commentary), Volume 1 (Hardcover)
Barrett delivers what you'd expect in the ICC, and from Barrett: thorough critical comments, trenchant observations on the theology of Acts. Vol. 2 is supposed to be out soon, a fitting climax to an enormously productive scholarly career. This is the place to begin serious study of any subject related to Acts. Expect to be challenged.
