The Acts of the Apostles

“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
“A text that would benefit any pious laymen, but which should be a go to reference for Orthodox clergy.” –Fr. John Whiteford, fatherjohn.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
“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.
