Solidly Evangelical

David G. Peterson, like most evangelicals, regards the Bible as God’s divine and authoritative revelation and has spent his career illuminating it's meaning through rigorous exegesis and special attention to biblical theology. Peterson served as Senior Research Fellow at Moore Theological College in Sydney, Australia and as Principle of Oak Hill College from 1996 to 2007. Peterson is ordained in the Anglican Church of Australia.

Scripture’s Text Illuminated

As with all volumes in the Pillar series, Peterson’s commentary on Acts makes clear the flow and meaning of the text. Using secondary scholarship judiciously, Peterson skillfully links exegesis of the text with critical issues in biblical and systematic theology. Throughout, Peterson remains focused on the message of Acts, underscoring that commitment at every turn.

Greek-based Exposition

Peterson’s commentary is expositional in style and based on a verse-by-verse exegesis of the Greek text. Yet, while Greek is referenced throughout, it is not necessary to understand that language to use the commentary extensively. References appear in parentheticals and readers can use them or ignore them as they wish.

For Pastors, Scholars, and Laity

Whether you're preaching, teaching, or just studying the Bible on your own or in a group, David G. Peterson’s commentary will help you achieve a detailed understanding of Acts. Designed for easy navigation, the commentary is easy to adapt to your needs and focuses both on key details and broader theological themes such as Paul's teaching, the role of the Spirit, and early Christian development.
