This series of expository sermons on Acts will be published by Zondervan in three large volumes, each containing more than forty chapters, sermons delivered by me in the pulpit of First Baptist Church in Dallas. They are manifestly preached messages, not written out and read before the people. All of the characteristics of spoken language are found in the expositons -- repetition, starting over again, groping for the right words, change of direction in the middle of paragraphs, mixed-up metaphors and similes, and a thousand other like disorders. The Bible, and the Book of Acts in particular, seems like a vast, illimitable ocean in breadth, length, and depth. To speak of the richness of the revelation of God in words and chapters is like dipping out the ocean with a bucket -- the task is immeasurable. - Foreword.
