Ben Witherington's commentary on the book of Acts offers a fresh perspective by combining social and rhetorical analysis. It's written in an accessible style, with deeper scholarly discussions in separate sections. The commentary incorporates insights from various fields, such as narratology, archaeology, social sciences, and rhetorical analysis, to provide a comprehensive understanding of Acts.

The book also delves into key theological and historical topics, like the connection between Acts and Paul's letters, the early church's growth, the interplay between early Judaism and Christianity, and how Christianity related to Roman authorities.
