In an intellectual climate that prizes innovation over tradition, headline over the Truth,  and intellectualism over divine revelation, the work of Archbishop Averky stands apart.  Following the widespread acclaim given to Archbishop Averky's commentary on the Four Gospels, this second of three planned volumes explains the significance of the Church's earliest history, as recorded in the Book of Acts.  Writing in the tradition of biblical exegetes, including St. John Chrysostom, Blessed Theophylact of Bulgaria, and St. Theophan the Recluse, Archbishop Averky provides a commentary firmly grounded in the teaching of the Orthodox Church as manifested in its liturgical hymnography and the works of the Holy Fathers.  Drawing on the best of pre-revolutionary Russian sources, his exposition keeps abreast of developments in Western biblical scholarship, engaging with it directly and honestly.

The Acts of the Apostles as a book of historical record describes the events following the ascension of the Lord Jesus Christ, the establishment of His Church on earth, and is filled with proofs of the resurrection.  It is central to the liturgical services of the Paschal season, being read in its entirety between Easter and Pentecost.
