Acts

By Craig S Keener and Craig S. Keener

Book Overview

A balanced, accessible commentary for Spirit-filled Christians

The Spirit who inspired the authors of the New Testament is at work today around the globe, as evidenced by the explosive growth of pentecostal, charismatic, and renewalist movements; the number of adherents is now estimated at more than half a billion.

The Word and Spirit Commentary on the New Testament meets the need for a balanced, affordable, and accessible commentary series aimed at Christians who identify as Spirit-filled. Features include:

● written by pastorally sensitive biblical scholars from the Spirit-filled tradition
● paragraph-by-paragraph commentary
● images, illustrations, and sidebars on pentecostal/charismatic/revival history or insights
● engages biblical books in their ancient setting
● emphasizes how we listen alongside ancient audiences for the Spirit's voice in our time and contexts

Series volumes 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. Series editors are Holly Beers, Westmont College, and Craig S. Keener, Asbury Theological Seminary.

Phenomenal and important work!

This condensed volume of Craig Keener’s four volume work on the book of Acts is excellent for anyone that is trying to get the “gist“ of the full series. Even though it is in an abridged version, it is still packed with information and citations. Dr. Keener is an absolute master of this subject!
