The Word and Spirit Commentary on the New Testament series emphasizes how we listen alongside ancient audiences for the Spirit's voice in our time and contexts. These commentaries explore how God works in the biblical texts and how Christians can expect God to work today, even if in new or culturally surprising ways."Keener combines his masterful command of ancient sources and his ministry experiences into one powerful tool for interpreting this trio of letters at the end of the New Testament. In line with the purpose of this commentary series, Keener determines what these books said to their original audiences and facilitates their voices being heard today. Keener capably joins what the Spirit spoke with what the Spirit speaks."-- Duane F. Watson , Malone University (emeritus) Praise for the Word and Spirit Commentary on the New Testament Series "Whereas existing pentecostal commentary series have been addressed to the growing pentecostal readership, volumes in the Word and Spirit Commentary on the New Testament series bring pentecostal-charismatic perspectives to wider evangelical and ecumenical audiences, both ecclesial and academic. Each installment gets us one step closer to appreciating how every New Testament document was written not only after Easter but also after Pentecost, and the cumulative witness to the Word and the Spirit will enable deeper awareness of the fundamentally trinitarian character of Christian faith.
"-- Amos Yong , Fuller Theological Seminary"There is nothing else like the Word and Spirit Commentary on the New Testament, and this series fills a major void! It features top scholars who not only exegete the text with precision but also share personal spiritual insights along the way, bringing together the best of both worlds."-- Michael L. Brown , founder and president, FIRE School of Ministry; host of The Line of Fire radio broadcast.
