Until now people have had to recognize Pentecostalism as a powerful force in the areas of spirituality  church growth  and world mission  but they have not felt it had much to offer for biblical  theological  and intellectual foundations. But this is fast changing  and with the appearance of this book we may be seeing the first motions of a wave of intellectually convincing Pentecostal theology which will sweep in upon us in the next decades.\" From the Foreword by Clark H. Pinnock In recent years  considerable scholarly discussion has occurred regarding the meaning of the Holy Spirits activity in Luke-Acts. The Charismatic Theology of St. Luke represents a new and fresh approach to this important issue. At the crux of the controversy is the interpretation of the phrases \"baptism in the Holy Spirit\" and \"filled with the Spirit\" as used in Luke-Acts. Roger Stronstad argues that  in an effort to harmonize Lukan and Pauline theology of the Holy Spirit  Lukes charismatic emphases have been improperly forced into a mold. Stronstad offers a cogent and thought-provoking study of Luke as a charismatic theologian  whose understanding of the Spirit shaped wholly his understanding of Jesus and of the nature of the Early Church. Writing in the spirit of the finest of biblical scholarship  Stronstad challenges  indeed forces  traditional Protestants to reexamine and reconsider the impact of Pentecost.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44949976383541,"sku":"ByrdShop_0913573116","price":62.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780913573112.jpg?v=1770090707","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-charismatic-theology-of-st-luke","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
