Summary "Expositions of Holy Scripture: The Acts" by Alexander Maclaren is a theological work written in the late 19th century. The book provides a deep exploration and commentary on the Book of Acts from the New Testament, focusing on the events following the Ascension of Jesus Christ and the establishment of the early Church. Maclaren's analysis delves into significant moments such as the Ascension, Pentecost, and the apostles' witness, offering insights and interpretations that aim to enhance the reader's understanding of these foundational events in Christian history. The opening portion of the text introduces Maclaren's approach, beginning with an examination of the Ascension of Christ as described in Acts 1:1-14. He emphasizes the significance of this event as not only a conclusion to Christ's earthly ministry but as the genesis of His ongoing work through the apostles and the Church. The text discusses the period of preparation leading up to Pentecost, highlighting the apostles' waiting, prayer, and unity. Maclaren elaborates on the implications of Peter's role in establishing the importance of testimony regarding Christ's resurrection. The narrative sets the stage for a theological exploration of the transformative power of the Holy Spirit and the unifying mission of the Church, encouraging readers to reflect on their own understanding and relationship with these profound truths.
