unparalleled blend of scholarship and practicality,

This review is from: The New American Commentary Volume 26 - Acts (Hardcover)
Polhill's commentary on Acts was a gold medalion nominee for the excellent commentary by Evangelical Christian Publishers Association. The author exhibits the rarity of combining academic clarity with practical applications for modern non-technical readers. The reliability of this book should be obvious by other excellent Acts commentators such as Fitzmyer and Whitherington who quote and rely on Polhill on a number of occasions. In my opinion, this book is the bestbuy of all Acts commentaries available in English language especially for preachers and teachers of the Bible.

This review is from: The New American Commentary Volume 26 - Acts (Hardcover)
Polhill has produced an excellent commentary on the Acts of the Apostles, or as Spurgeon calls it The Acts of the Holy Spirit. The book is fresh, stimulating and comprehensive. I heartily recommend it to all preachers, students of the Word and indeed anyone who wants to examine Acts, and even better, who wants to live it out.
