"Expositions of Holy Scripture: The Acts" by Alexander Maclaren is a religious study from the late 1800s that provides a thorough commentary on the Book of Acts, specifically looking at what happened after Jesus' rising into Heaven and the start of the Church. The book takes a close look at moments such as the Ascension, Pentecost, and the apostles' spreading of their beliefs, giving explanations designed to help readers understand these important events in Christian history. The book starts by looking at Christ's Ascension as told in Acts 1:1-14, and discusses how this event marks not only the end of Christ's time on Earth but also the beginning of His continuing work through the apostles and the Church. It also discusses the time of preparation before Pentecost, focusing on the apostles' waiting, praying, and their sense of unity. Maclaren explains how Peter's role highlights the importance of witnessing Christ's resurrection, paving the way for a theological study of the Holy Spirit's power to change things and the Church's mission to unite people, encouraging readers to think about their own understanding and connection to these important truths.
