I was in a Bible Study on Acts and this book was a great help in understanding the writer, Luke. Yes, I recommend it.
I received an ARC from Netgalley, but the review is my idea.

This book is aimed at those who have a certain understanding of scripture already, as a support for a sermon this is excellent and really takes you through the words and situation that Jesus is living through and that of his apostles and friends. There is a concentration of the parables and the teaching of Jesus and this is explained in good detail and linked to first century beliefs as the Christian church was slowly establishing itself, the scene for the gospel is very well set in the opening chapters and this is excellent grounding and background for the reading of the text. The explanation of words such as salvation in context each time is a real benefit and helps with the nuances of the text and unpacking some of the mystery.

I have to admit, Luke seems to be the Gospel book I've studied the least. So finding this commentary on NetGalley was great! I enjoyed using it to go through the book and seeing the insights that David Peterson gave for the stories and parables within the text.

If you are looking to get back into your faith, or someone who is already pretty headstrong in their beliefs this is a great book to understanding the books of the bible.
