Written by notable evangelical scholars, the Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament series (ZECNT) consistently provides the main point, an exegetical outline, verse-by-verse commentary, and theology in application in each section of every commentary, allowing readers to concentrate on the biblical author’s message as it unfolds.

This next release, Acts by Eckhard Schnabel highlights: (1) the work of God through the exalted Jesus who grants the presence of the Holy Spirit; (2) the significance of Jesus who is Israel’s Messiah and the Savior of the world and who directs the expansion of the church; (3) the work of the Holy Spirit as transforming power present in the lives of the followers of Jesus and their communities; (4) the identity of the church as the community of God, comprised of Jews and Gentiles who are followers of Jesus; (5) the mission of the church whose leaders take the gospel to cities and regions of the Roman Empire in which Jesus has not yet been proclaimed as Messiah and Savior; and (6) the historical events and the persons who played a role in the expansion of earliest Christianity. Eckhard Schnabel is the Mary F. Rockefeller Distinguished Professor of New Testament Studies at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary.
