Description
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.

“Once again, Witherington has crafted a masterpiece that carefully balances rhetorical reading, contextual insights, and practical application. Spirit-filled readers will especially appreciate a commentary that acknowledges the enchanted worldview of the biblical text and encourages hearing the Spirit’s voice when ascertaining application for today. Witherington’s gift to take what is complex and make it accessible to a wide readership shines in this book; laity, undergraduate and graduate students, pastors, and more will benefit from his commentary.”—Joy L. Vaughan, assistant professor of New Testament studies, Asbury University
