The second volume of this magisterial commentary on Acts covers chapters 15-28. Professor Barrett provides fresh translations, verse-by-verse commentary, and addresses all linguistic, historical and theological issues. This volume also contains the general introduction to the entire commentary - here Barrett considers, for example, the contribution of Acts to the whole history and theology of early Christianity - together with the general index to both volumes.

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 order this book is Volume II.

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.

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!
For me, Witherington has written a similarly scholarly work, but spends more time in the text, guiding you through. Also, there is greater flow of thought, so I still manage to follow what is happening in the text, as well as following the debate: not quite so with Barrett's.
