“_This little volume is one of a series of ‘Keys’ of a more or less
educational character, which are in the course of publication by Messrs.
Rivington. It gives apparently a very fair and tolerably exhaustive
résumé of the contexts of the Acts, with which it deals, not chapter
by chapter, but consecutively in the order of thought._”――SCHOOL BOARD
CHRONICLE.
“_Few books have ever given us more unmixed pleasure than this. It is
faultlessly written, so that it reads as pleasantly and enticingly as
if it had not the least intention of being an ‘educational’ book. It is
complete and exhaustive, so far as the narrative and all its bearings
go, so that students may feel that they need not be hunting up other
books to supply the |lacunæ|. It is the work of a classical scholar,
and it leaves nothing wanting in the way of classical illustrations,
which in the case of the Acts are of special importance. And, lastly,
it is theologically sound._”――LITERARY CHURCHMAN.
“_This is a sequel to Canon Norris’s ‘Key to the Gospels,’ which was
published two years ago, and which has become a general favourite with
those who wish to grasp the leading features of the life and word of
Christ. The sketch of the Acts of the Apostles is done in the same
style; there is the same reverent spirit and quiet enthusiasm running
through it, and the same instinct for seizing the leading points in the
narrative._”――RECORD.
