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. The focus is largely on the Johannine
literature, but there are also exegetical studies in Matthew and
Luke. The studies are either entirely new or have already been
influential among Pentecostal theologians; this publication
makes them deservedly and conveniently available to a wider
readership. Essays include: The Kingdom of God in
Matthew; Discipleship in Mark; The Ending of Mark; The
Composition of the Fourth Gospel; The Fourth Gospel and Rabbinic
Judaism; The Spirit in the Fourth Gospel; Healing in the
Atonement; The Structure of Acts; Footwashing; Women,
Pentecostals, and the Bible; The Literary Structure of 1 John;
Pentecostal Theology in the 21st Century.
John Christopher Thomas is
Clarence J. Abbott Professor of Biblical Studies at the Church
of God Theological Seminary, Cleveland, TN, USA. He is editor of
the Journal of Pentecostal Theology and its supplement
series. His many publications include monographs on
Footwashing in John 13 and The Devil, Disease, and
Deliverance. Origins of Illness in New Testament Thought.
“These essays make
an important addition to the serious studies emerging from
Pentecostal scholars. 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.”
