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."Written by the two best Pentecostal New Testament scholars today, Acts showcases the vision of the Word and Spirit Commentary on the New Testament series. It takes readers to the first-century Spirit-filled church and its missionary enterprise. At the same time, the commentary brings the ancient text to today's Pentecostal-charismatic believers. This will be one of the favorite reference books for Pentecostal thinkers and practitioners."-- Wonsuk Ma , Oral Roberts University"I can think of no two Pentecostal scholars who are better qualified to provide a commentary on the Acts of the Apostles than Menzies and Keener. Their scholarship is impeccable, their comments discerning, and their wisdom inspiring. Pastors, students, and scholars alike will benefit from their insights.
This commentary will be a very reliable resource on this important historical and theological book and is intended to help today's church understand its place in the ongoing story of Christ's church."-- Cecil M. Robeck Jr. , Fuller Theological Seminary"The book of Acts gives witness to the explosive power of the Holy Spirit in empowering the early church to proclaim the gospel of Jesus in words and miraculous acts. Menzies and Keener read and exegete the book of Acts in the acknowledgment that the same Spirit continues his glorious work in his church. This faithful and insightful commentary will become not only a standard text in Luke-Acts studies but a classic one."-- Corné J. Bekker , Regent University Praise for the Word and Spirit Commentary on the New Testament Series "There is nothing else like the Word and Spirit Commentary on the New Testament! It features top scholars who not only exegete the text with precision but also share personal spiritual insights along the way.
