I appreciate this book very much. I was fascinated by the author's many fresh readings and unusual interpretations of the book of Acts. I look forward to reading the second volume of this commentary.

Tobias Nicklas, Radboud University of Nijmegen, The Netherlands, Journal of Biblical Textual Criticism, 2006

This commentary is valuable in many respects, not least for its keen attention to linguistic detail, which will be valuable whatever one may think of the claim of Bezan priority.

Catholic Biblical Quarterly, 2005

His book is a comparison of the message of Acts transmitted by Codex Bezae with that of the more familiar Alexandrian text, represented by Codex Vaticanus. For each section of Acts, there is a side by side translation of the Bezan and Alexandrian manuscripts, followed by a critical apparatus and, finally, a commentary that explores the differences in the message of the two texts. It is concluded that the Bezan text, with its interest in internal Jewish affairs and its focus on the struggles of the early disciples to free themselves from their traditional Jewish expectations and to achieve, despite their mistakes, a more accurate understanding of their master's teaching, is the earlier of the two texts.

Formerly the Journal for the Study of the New Testament Supplement, a book series that explores the many aspects of New Testament study including historical perspectives, social-scientific and literary theory, and theological, cultural and contextual approaches. The Early Christianity in Context series, a part of JSNTS, examines the birth and development of early Christianity up to the end of the third century CE. The series places Christianity in its social, cultural, political and economic context. The European Seminar on Christian Origins and Journal for the Study of the Historical Jesus Supplement are also part of JSNTS.
