An abbreviated edition, in paperback, of the two-volume commentary in the ICC series. For those who lack the linguistic and historical grounding, or the time, to deal with the ICC volumes, this Shorter Commentary retains all the important elements of the introduction and commentary, but excludes foreign-language material, technical notes and excursuses.
"Barrett's ICC volumes contain a vast amount of detail, especially textual and grammatical . . . excellent . . . represents the distillation of decades of reading and thinking and the writing of numerous articles on aspects of Acts that arose during the preliminary stages of preparing this commentary; his is a very detailed analysis of the Greek texts and the variants . . ."--Novum Testamentum, 2000
