ISBN The Charismatic Theology of St. Luke, 2nd Edition (Trajectories from the Old Testament to Luke-Acts) book English Paperback 140 pages

Perhaps the most important biblical studies book ever written by a Pentecostal. Truly a seminal work, this slim volume caused a seismic shift in the terrain of pentecostal biblical scholarship. . . . I am delighted that this exceedingly important piece will continue its well-deserved shelf life, extending its availability for readers old and new.'--John Christopher Thomas, Pentecostal Theological SeminaryWhat is the meaning of the Holy Spirit's activity in Luke-Acts, and what are its implications for today? Roger Stronstad offers a cogent and thought-provoking study of Luke as a charismatic theologian whose understanding of the Spirit was shaped wholly by his understanding of Jesus and the nature of the early church. Stronstad locates Luke's pneumatology in the historical background of Judaism and views Luke as an independent theologian who makes a unique contribution to the pneumatology of the New Testament. This work challenges traditional Protestants to reexamine the impact of Pentecost and explores the Spirit's role in equipping God's people for the unfinished task of mission. The second edition has been revised and updated throughout and includes a new foreword by Mark Allan Powell.ContentsForeword by Mark Allan PowellPreface to the Second Edition1.
