bulletFrom the Geneva Notes.
bullet"By the "fear of God" the Hebrews understood the whole service of God."
bulletFrom Matthew Henry's Commentary.
bullet"Acceptance cannot be obtained on any other ground than that of the covenant of mercy, through the atonement of Christ; but wherever true religion is found, God will accept it without regarding names or sects."
bulletFrom Wesley's Notes.
bullet"He does not confine his love to one nation; in a general, that he is loving to every man, and willeth all men should be saved."
bulletFrom the Commentary on the Whole Bible (Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
bullet"Not, "I see there is no capricious favoritism with God," for Peter would never imagine such a thing; but (as the next clause shows), "I see that God has respect only to personal character and state in the acceptance of men, national and ecclesiastical distinctions being of no account.""
bulletFrom The People's New Testament, B.W. Johnson, 1891.
bullet"It has just dawned on him that Jew and Gentile are on the same footing in God's sight. Those who fear the Lord in any nation, of any race, will be accepted."
bulletContemporary Commentary, Studies, and Exegesis:
bullet Comments (commentary) and Clippings (technical notes for in-depth study), Chris Haslam, Anglican Diocese of Montreal.
bullet "First Thoughts on Year A Epistle Passages in the Lectionary," Baptism of Jesus, William Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in Australia.
bullet"Luke's trim speech given to Peter ends by noting the promise of forgiveness and declaring that Jesus will be the one to judge the world. This is also part of what it meant to say, 'Jesus is Lord'."
bullet "God Has Raised Jesus," Rev. Bryan Findlayson, Lectionary Bible Studies and Sermons, Pumpkin Cottage Ministry Resources. Includes detailed textual notes.
bullet"The one who broke the bonds of death all those years ago, has the right, power and authority to forgive us of everything we have ever, or will ever, think or do."
bullet "Entertaining Angels," study guide, Robert B. Kruschwitz, (other resources at) "Hospitality," Christian Reflection, The Center for Christian Ethics at Baylor University, 2007.
bullet "With Our Own Eyes," Expository Essay, Acts 10:34-43, Dr. William R. Long.
bullet"We miss more than half the message of the resurrection of Christ if we only see it as a message of personal salvation for us."
bullet Kairos CoMotion Lectionary Discussion, Acts 10:34-43 / 1 Corinthians 15:19-26, Wesley White. "A place of conversation regarding Progressive Christianity."
bullet"What is it to 'believe in him'?"
bullet "The Conversion of Cornelius," Larry Broding's Word-Sunday.Com: A Catholic Resource for This Sunday's Gospel.
bullet"Does our faith in Christ' name help us to see everyone as God's child? Do we accept others, even the 'lily and poinsettia' Catholics, as God accepts us?"
bullet"The Conversion of Cornelius (Acts 10:36-48)" by Robert Deffinbaugh at the Biblical Studies Foundation.
bullet"While the conversion which the gospel produces may, in some ways, produce instant changes, other changes come harder and over a longer period of time."
bulletArticles & Background:
bullet "Entertaining Angels: Hospitality in Luke and Acts," Andrew Arterbury, (other resources at) "Hospitality," Christian Reflection, The Center for Christian Ethics at Baylor University, 2007.
bullet"In Luke’s writings the ancient practice of hospitality—the custom of welcoming travelers or strangers into one’s home and establishing relationships with them—becomes the prism through which Jesus’ disciples can view one another and others as valuable children of God."
bullet "Acts 10:34: A Text for Racial and Cultural Reconciliation Among Christians," J. Julius Scott, Jr., Wheaton College Distance Learning.
bullet"The racial reconciliation I most earnestly desire, not that of changing laws and institutions, as important as they are, but of attitudes and hearts, may well come through a process rather than a crisis moment.  Legal barriers may be felled with the stroke of a pen, but people may change more slowly.  They may not always see things clearly, instantaneously, or necessarily, completely."
bullet "Collision of Modes? -- Vision and Determining Argument in Acts 10:1 - 11:18," Edith M. Humphrey, Semeia 71: Textual Determinacy, Part Two, 1995.
bullet "The Cornelius Incident in the Light of Its Jewish Setting," J. Julius Scott, Jr., Wheaton College Distance Learning.
bullet"Modern cross cultural missions, like the Gentile mission of old, must proceed from a proper theological understanding which is firmly rooted in Scripture. The theological understanding and also traditional attitudes and convictions must constantly be re-evaluated and corrected against an ever-expanding knowledge and appreciation of the content and implications of the Bible."
