Invaluable Work on Acts

Like him or not, Dr. John MacArthur always preaches what he believes and never waters it down. His firm foundation in the Bible allows him to teach with authority (Matthew 7:28). MacArthur does so in his continuing commentaries on the New Testament with this volume on Acts 1-12. MacArthur does deal with the hard issues. For example, he deals with the baptism with the Holy Spirit in Acts 2 and offers his view (a cessationist view with a view toward conversion-initation; see James Dunn's BAPTISM IN THE SPIRIT). He does deal with miracles and manifesation gifts where needed from his text. MacArthur will not write what is popular nor will he debate an issus not found in the text he is dealing with.I do highly recommend this volume on the book of Acts as well as the companion second volume of Acts 13-28. Both offer useful outlines for teachers of Scripture and both give great evangelical commentary as well as historical, grammatical, and application from the powerful book of Acts.

not very deep

MacArthur's book is more devotional than anything else. Not a serious commentary.
