They will be useful to those within the tradition as indications of the vigor of the work and to those outside who are in dialogue with their Pentecostal colleagues.” – Kent Brower, JSNT Booklist       *************   "Thomas is a pioneer in the field of New Testament Studies undertaken from a Pentecostal perspective, and his new commentary on the Johannine Letters bears eloquent testimony to a first-rate theology based on sound, critical scholarship." - Stephen S. Smalley, in Anvil. "What struck this reviewer is the unusual combination of academic grammatical analysis appropriate to scholarly discussion and practical application perfectly designed for a small group bible study ... In this work the reader gets both volumes in one well-interpreted and well-written package."  - Timothy Berkley, in PNEUMA   ********************* Deo titles by John Christopher Thomas   John Christopher Thomas The Spirit of the New Testament The essays in this volume on the one hand together form an exploration of the Spirit in the New Testament, and on the other hand a demonstration of the spirit of the NT.
