This commentary on Acts, based on summary lectures for a course on the NT taught between 1952-1955, aims to give readers and those who study the NT a key to understanding and interpreting the Scriptures according to the teachings of the Russian Orthodox Church. --New Testament Abstracts Whether you have never read the Gospels or read them hundreds of times, you will be spiritually enriched with your reading of this commentary. I cannot wait for Volume II on The Epistles to be released. --Stuart Dunn, stuartsstudy.blogspot.com. Taushev suggests that the book of Acts paints a picture of the Christian church as having been established among the Jews of Palestine according to the words of the Lord himself, spreading into a pagan milieu, and eventually reaching Asia and southern Europe. --New Testament Abstracts 61/3 - 2017 A text that would benefit any pious laymen, but which should be a go to reference for Orthodox clergy. --Fr.
