An Exposition of the Acts of the Apostles is unavailable, but you can change that!

John MacEvilly’s exposition of The Acts of the Apostles offers a clear, Catholic, passage-by-passage interpretation of the text. It combines traditional exegesis with moral exhortation and so has been widely used as a daily devotional. The work was originally intended for laymen, but quickly found a place as a textbook in seminary education and has seen numerous editions.
