This volume contains an exposition of the Acts of the Apostles down to, but not including, the conversion of St. Paul and the baptism of Cornelius. There is a natural division at that point. Prior to these events, the inspired narrative is engaged with what the late Bishop Lightfoot of Durham called great "representative facts," prophetical or typical of the future developments of the Church, whether among Jews or Gentiles; while the subsequent course of the history deals almost entirely with missionary work among the heathen and the labours of St. Paul. I have written this book from my own standpoint as a decided Churchman, but I hope that I have said nothing which can really hurt the feelings of anyone who thinks otherwise, or which may tend to widen those differences between Christians which are such a terrible hindrance to the cause of true religion and its progress in the world.

Joseph Rawson Lumby was an English priest, scholar, author, and divine who was appointed Norrisian Professor of Divinity in 1879 and Lady Margaret's Professor of Divinity in 1892. He was the son of John Lumby of Stanningley, near Leeds, and was born on July 18, 1831. On August 2, 1841, he was admitted to Leeds Grammar School. In March 1848, he departed to become the master of a school in Meanwood, but was pushed to attend university. In October 1854, he enrolled at Magdalene College in Cambridge, and the following year was awarded a Milner Close scholarship. Lumby was appointed Dennis Fellow of his institution and began teaching students within a few months of graduating. In 1860, he received the Crosse scholarship and was ordained deacon and priest in the Diocese of Ely. He was assigned to the Magdalene chaplaincy and the Girton curacy for clerical duties. In 1861, he obtained the Tyrwhitt Hebrew scholarship and was appointed classical lecturer at Queens' College. He joined the Old Testament Revision Company in 1873 and worked on the Apocrypha revision as well (he only lived to see the revised edition published).
