Questions about Keener's Acts: An Exegetical Commentary (4 Vols)

I have several questions about this resource:

1. I've had it on my wish list since 2018 and i don't think i've ever seen it on any sale. Has it ever been on sale?

2. How is this not considered one of the best commentaries on Acts available in Logos, and therefore how is it not a part of the current best commentary sale?

3. I might be wrong, but i don't think i've ever seen this on sale as part of an 'author of the month' nor in a March Madness sale.

Of course, the reason for these questions is that this resource is so very expensive, and i'd love to buy it.

If you scroll down on your link, you'll find it's included in 3 different bundles. I purchased them as part of the 8 vol. collection on 6/15/2021 at a good price. I'm not sure how many of the 8 I already had. I keep individual books and any collection that they're included in, in my wish lists so I can get them when they go on sale or pre-pub. I don't think the 4 vols were on sale, but the 8 were.

That's a great idea! I don't own any of the other volumes, so the price right now is still too high. However, the 2 volume commentary on John is also on my wish list so i'm adding that bundle now to my wish list. Great idea.

I did some research and the 8 vol. collection was on pre-pub, and I was only missing 1 Peter. I'm not sure what the price would have been on all 8 vols., but it would have been a sale price.

John -

After having that on my wishlist for a few years, I picked up the 4 volume set last August for about $178, which is 30% off.

If I'm not mistaken, it was included in the 2020 "Back to School" sale.

Couple months ago I updated to Logos 9 Ultimate and when I did I always pick something off my wishlist to add to the order and this year it was the Kenner four volume Acts commentary. It's been on my wishllist forever. I don't plan on studying Acts until 2024 but I won't consult the commentary until then but you are right I never ever saw it on sale. That is Baker Academic and not Faithlife. You can write the publisher and ask them to put it on sale. I wanted the commentary based on the Kenner Mobile Education courses I own.

Also it is worth bearing in mind that to be up for 'best' commentary, a title will need to have been out in the world for some time before it garners enough support and appreciation to get kudos and thus enough votes on BestCommentaries.com to be up there with long standing contenders.

Also with the pure scale of the work - how many people have read it! I have the dead tree version and I have, as yet, bearly started.

I’m waiting on a coupon or good discount to get 1 Peter. It looks like an awesome read with lots of information.

I did the same. Started reading about two months ago (along with the Greek text) and just finished the first chapter of Acts. Did not read any of the introduction part yet. The exegesis is much more interesting than I had expected. The term "socio-rhetorical" sounded that I need to be cautious but turned out that it provides a realistic view for the world of Acts.
