Reviews
Pentecostals and charismatics read the Bible as the Word of God for us today, insisting that the Spirit actively speaks through the text. That same Spirit, of course, indwells and empowers us as he did the first followers of Jesus. William Simmons builds on these emphases in The Holy Spirit in the New Testament while incorporating thoughtful and practical (another typical Pentecostal value) exegesis of New Testament texts. As a Pentecostal myself, I am grateful for a kindred spirit like Simmons who is also living in that sometimes awkward but also hopeful space between the church and the academy. May his book remind us all that the Spirit is present there as well. --Holly Beers, associate professor of religious studies at Westmont College William Simmons certainly has his finger on the pulse of global Christianity and the phenomenal growth of the Pentecostal and charismatic movement, as well as the concomitant need for sound and lively theology for this church. He has written a helpful New Testament theology of the Spirit that honors the third person of the Trinity and opens the door for a drawing together of the incarnational and the pneumatic--that is the person and work of the Son and the Spirit--in Christian life and thought. This book may be a further contribution to the movement called 'Third Article Theology, ' in which theology is viewed from the lens of the third article of the Nicene Creed. This attempt to overcome dualisms and bring together what is not separated in organic theology--that is exegesis and devotion, theology and praxis, the Christian mind and Christian spirituality and ethics--by the power of the Spirit, by means of a focus on the Spirit in each book of the New Testament, is indeed commendable. --Ross Hastings, Sangwoo Youtong Chee Professor of Theology at Regent College
