The most thorough Acts resource available on earth.

The most thorough Acts resource available on earth. Using words to describe this work like detailed, meticulous, all-encompassing are not hyperbole. Whether a scholar or layperson, this set is worth your time and finances. Invaluable.

I was a little disappointed that right out of the box one of the volumes was slightly damaged. But other than that looks like I'm going to be very happy with it. This is a massive set, each book is over a thousand pages!

The last commentary on the Acts of the Apostles

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2015

Meticulous, thorough, detailed, judicious -- these are adjectives that I expect to be able to apply to Craig Keener's work and his 4-volume commentary on Acts earns these once again, in boldface. This is not just another commentary: it is a compendium. Keener has digested the extant literature on Acts, brought to bear his own exegetical acumen and his deep immersion in the Greco-Roman world and its literature (including, of course, the literature of Hellenistic- and Roman-period Judaism), and created what I consider to be a one-stop resource on the book of Acts and the hundreds of issues/questions that have been raised in its interpretation. Keener is also bold. He does not yield to the dominant anti-supernaturalistic world view of the West in his treatment of Acts, but he also does not casually embrace the alternative: it is through well-reasoned, well-researched argument that he makes a case for the miraculous in Acts (indeed, his two-volume work on Miracles began as an excursus in the Acts commentary, and soon had to be broken away for independent treatment). This is not for the casual reader, to say the least. It is for the serious student who wants to come away from the study of Acts with no stone left unturned; it is also the ultimate reference work on Acts. I have admittedly only read sections from the introduction and those parts of the commentary relevant to Paul's Galatian mission (so, on chs. 13-14 and the relevant passages in chs 16 and 18 where Paul passes through twice more) for the purposes of my own work on Galatians, but this was enough to tell me it is the last commentary on Acts I'll need to acquire for a long time to come. The list price may seem high, but even at that it's still a tremendous value when one considers that it brings four 1000+-page hardcover volumes your way.

Martin W. Mittelstadt's review in "Pneuma" describes this 4 volume commentrary as " an exhaustive and almiost exhausting work", which may be unfair to the style but this is a very substantial work, intended for the serious student.
It will be invaluable in my PhD study and a major resource for a long time to come.
I ordered it from Books on 16th July and was promissed delivery by 30th July. It arrived within 3-4 days. i.e., very promptly and early.
