The Beginnings of Christianity, Part I: The Acts of the Apostles, Vol. IV: Commentary

The commentary in this fourth volume of The Beginnings of Christianity is the culmination of the previous investigations in volumes one through three. Written in tandem by Kirsopp Lake and Henry J. Cadbury, the commentary brings together insights from Cadbury’s interests in linguistic and literary studies and Lake’s specialization in doctrinal and historical issues. Although originally published in 1933, its frequent citation in recent commentaries attests to its ongoing value to the study of Acts. Noted Luke-Acts scholar Craig S. Keener cited it as one of the most helpful commentaries in preparing his background study of Acts.
