The Expositor's Bible: The Acts of the Apostles, Vol. 2 by George Thomas Stokes continues the exploration of the Book of Acts, focusing on the latter chapters (13-28) that chronicle the missionary journeys of the Apostle Paul and the spread of Christianity beyond Jerusalem. This volume provides a comprehensive commentary on Paul’s transformative experiences, including his encounters with various communities, his theological teachings, and the challenges he faced from both external opposition and internal discord within the early church.Stokes delves into significant events such as Paul’s first missionary journey, his encounters with key figures, and the establishment of churches in various cities like Antioch, Ephesus, and Corinth. He examines the pivotal moments that shaped the early Christian community, including the Jerusalem Council, which addressed the relationship between Jewish and Gentile believers. Stokes emphasizes the theme of divine guidance and the role of the Holy Spirit in directing the apostles' efforts to spread the Gospel.
