Book of The Acts
The commentary to the Book of Acts by F.F. Bruce, one of the most recognized and accredited experts worldwide in Luke and Acts, is unique for his way of structuring the content in two blocks: separating the expository part of a more narrative nature (which forms the bulk of the text), from the technical part of a more exegetical nature (placed in footnotes).
In this way the preacher can easily use the narrative part of the exposition without technical incisions that are unnecessary for the verbal exposition of the Word; but with the option of accessing them whenever he deems it appropriate.
From here he unfolds the content of facts, verse by verse, framing it within an outline of events that he structures in six fundamental parts:
The birth of the Church (1:1-5:42);
Persecution and expansion (6:1-9:31);
The deeds of Peter and the beginning of the Gentile Church (9:32-12:24);
Extension of the Church from Antioch and the apostolic decree in Jerusalem (12:25-15:35);
Paul leaves Antioch and goes to the Aegean world (15:36-19:20);
Paul plans to visit Rome and arrives there by an unexpected route (19:21-28:31).
Each of these main parts has its corresponding divisions and subdivisions, following the exposition of the biblical text in blocks of one or several verses.

How did the books of the Bible come to be recognized as Holy Scripture?Who decided what shape the canon should take?
What criteria influenced these decisions?
After nearly nineteen centuries the canon of Scripture still remains an issue of debate. Protestants, Catholics and the Orthodox all have slightly differing collections of documents in their Bibles. Martin Luther, one of the early leaders of the Reformation, questioned the inclusion of the book of James in the canon. And many Christians today, while confessing the authority of all of Scripture, tend to rely on only a few books and particular themes while ignoring the rest.
Scholars have raised many other questions as well. Research into second-century Gnostic texts have led some to argue that politics played a significant role in the formation of the Christian canon. Assessing the influence of ancient communities and a variety of disputes on the final shaping of the canon call for ongoing study.
In this significant historical study, F. F. Bruce brings the wisdom of a lifetime of reflection and biblical interpretation to bear in answering the questions and clearing away the confusion surrounding the Christian canon of Scripture. Adept in both Old and New Testament studies, he brings a rare comprehensive perspective to his task.
Though some issues have shifted since the original publication of this book, it still remains a significant landmark and touchstone for further studies.

Paul’s epistle to the Romans changed the lives of many great Christian thinkers, including Augustine, Martin Luther, John Wesley and Karl Barth. However, while Romans has been among the most influential books of the New Testament, it has also been the subject of some of the church’s most heated debates. What is justification by faith? What is the relationship between law and grace? What is God’s ultimate purpose for Israel? Without losing sight of the simplicity of the gospel, F. F. Bruce guides us along the difficult but rewarding paths of this great letter.The original, unrevised text of this volume has been completely retypeset and printed in a larger, more attractive format with the new cover design for the series.
The Tyndale New Testament Commentaries have long been a trusted resource for Bible study. Written by some of the world’s most distinguished evangelical scholars, these twenty volumes offer clear, reliable and relevant explanations of every book in the New Testament.
These Tyndale volumes are designed to help readers understand what the Bible actually says and what it means. The introduction to each volume gives a concise but thorough description of the authorship, date and historical background of the biblical book under consideration. The commentary itself examines the text section by section, drawing out its main themes. It also comments on individual verses and deals with problems of interpretation. The aim throughout is to get at the true meaning of the Bible and to make its message plain to readers today.

Men And Movements In The Primitive Church

Chapter 4: John And His CircleAdditional Info
It is plain even from Paul’s own writings that other presentations of the Christian message than his own were current during his apostolic career. With some of these other presentations he is quite happy; against others he found it necessary to put his readers on their guard.
In these four studies originally presented as the inaugural series of Didsbury Lectures at the British Isles Nazarene College, Manchester, F.F. Bruce discusses what we know about the history of non-Pauline Christianity in the first century. Judiciously drawing upon material from the whole of the New Testament, he relates it to other early Christian literature in order to provide a highly readable outline of an important area.
But, as he warns, this book does not study the literature for its own sake. Instead, it focuses on the leaders of early non-Pauline Christianity, with their associates, from whom the literature provides indispensable evidence.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase
