Simply, clearly and readably written, this is a superb 'telling of the story' of Acts. Written by an author who adopts an inerrantist viewpoint, a judicious provision of background information enables the author and reader to quickly perceive the contemporary (and often very encouraging) significance of the passage under review.
Just occasionally, such application over-pulpit and Anglo-centred. However, it also shows evidence of the hand of a skilled and gentle pastor, and the material has evidently been preached; this ensures that application is fore-grounded and discussion not lost in abstruse (and often irrelevant) scholarly debates. Unlike most commentaries, it lends itself to curling upon the sofa and reading at one sitting! It will also offer considerable stimulus to the preacher or home group leader. Stimulated by Williams' work, some might value some guidance for further reading.
