Denton's 'A Commentary of the Acts of the Apostles, vol. 1' is a critical and exegetical commentary on the Acts of the Apostles. With a critical eye, Denton works through the text of Acts verse-by-verse, analyzing the language, history, and culture of the first-century world. Denton concludes that the Book of Acts is a historically reliable and accurate account, and the events described in Luke's account should be taken at face value as reliable and trustworthy.
