As I mentioned in my review of the first part of N.T. Wright's commentary on the book of Acts, which covered chapters 1-12, Mr. Wright's individual commentaries have lengthened and become more impassioned. This is especially true of this commentary, which covers chapters 13-28 of the book of Acts. As the first 12 chapters centered mostly around the apostle Peter, the second half of Acts and this commentary center around the apostle Paul, his three missionary trips throughout Asia Minor (modern day Turkey) and Greece, and his harrowing journey to Rome. As Paul and his writings are Mr. Wright's main scholarly focus (he just recently published the 1,000+ page book on him, [b:Paul and the Faithfulness of God|17842958|Paul and the Faithfulness of God (Christian Origins and the Question of God, #4)|N.T. Wright|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1379300371s/17842958.jpg|24971281]), he brings a passion and insight to this that is quite amazing. Of particular note are his commentaries on Paul's speech to the Athenians in the Areopagus, which can be found in Acts 17:22-34. Yes, commentaries plural because, for the first time in this series, he writes about a passage twice. In this, N.T. Wright brings his considerable scholarly knowledge and insight to bear and shows how Paul engaged the major philosophies of Greece while still expounding the Judeo-Christian God as king and declaring "The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent..." (v. 30). Also of note is Mr. Wirght's commentaries on the last chapters, which covers Paul's arrest in Jerusalem, his trials before Felix, Festus, and Herod Agrippa I, and Paul's journey to Rome. He compares and contrasts this with Luke's account of Christ's journey to the cross, an interesting comparison if you ask me. Still, in keeping with the rest of this series, nothing is too difficult to understand and Mr. Wright's commentaries never go more than 4 or 5 pages, making it a very manageable commentary series for those who have never paired their Bible readings with a commentary. I highly recommend this series and this book in particular to all those interested in delving deeper into the New Testament.
