Acts: Exegetical Guide to the Greek New Testament

"Scott Kellum’s look at the book of Acts is a wonderfully focused study of the careful contribution of the Greek to understanding this core piece of the canon. This work does an excellent job of interacting with the language and with the voices of commentators about it with an eye to cultural context, the meaning of words and its resultant theology. For those who love to dig into the text, this is a solid resource."
—Darrell L. Bock, executive director of cultural engagement and senior research professor of New Testament studies, Dallas Theological Seminary
 
 "Kellum’s exegetical guide to Acts is an extraordinary resource. I have heard seminary alumni many times bemoan the fact that they did not keep up with their Greek after graduating. This book was the aid they needed to help them do so, but they can still profit much from consulting it now. The Greek of Acts may be less inviting since it is more literary, less vernacular, and colored with Semitisms, but Kellum is an adept guide who clears the way for a fresh grasp of what Luke actually writes. I cannot see persons seriously studying, preaching, or teaching Acts without this companion by their side."
—David E. Garland, professor of Christian Scriptures, George W. Truett Theological Seminary, Baylor University
 
 "Dr. Kellum powerfully examines a powerful book. This commentary is both precise and practical. If a preacher’s aim is to get it right, and make it stick, this is a very useful tool."
—Andrew P. Hopper, lead pastor, Mercy Hill Church, Greensboro, NC
 
 "Most students in graduate theological education learn Greek by reading the letters of John or Paul. When they reach the Greek of Acts, they find themselves grammatically lost. This helpful commentary by Scott Kellum will serve as a helpful introduction into the Lukan writings."
—Osvaldo Padilla, professor of divinity, Beeson Divinity School, Samford University
 
 "Teachers, preachers, and students of the Greek text of Acts who aim to faithfully proclaim Jesus’s continuing work in the book of Acts notoriously face several interpretive challenges, one of which is understanding the Greek text of Acts! Scott Kellum’s EGGNT volume is now the go to resource for negotiating the complex details of the text of Acts. Combining clarity with concise and careful analysis of the grammatical, syntactical, and interpretive options, Kellum has provided an excellent guide to the riches of God’s Word. Highly recommended."
