“Keener combines his masterful command of ancient sources and his ministry experiences into one powerful tool for interpreting this trio of letters at the end of the New Testament. In line with the purpose of this commentary series, Keener determines what these books said to their original audiences and facilitates their voices being heard today. Keener capably joins what the Spirit spoke with what the Spirit speaks.”—Duane F. Watson, professor emeritus of New Testament studies, Malone University

Praise for the Word and Spirit Commentary on the New Testament Series

“Whereas existing pentecostal commentary series have been addressed to the growing pentecostal readership, volumes in the Word and Spirit Commentary on the New Testament series bring pentecostal-charismatic perspectives to wider evangelical and ecumenical audiences, both ecclesial and academic. Each installment gets us one step closer to appreciating how every New Testament document was written not only after Easter but also after Pentecost, and the cumulative witness to the Word and the Spirit will enable deeper awareness of the fundamentally trinitarian character of Christian faith.”—Amos Yong, professor of theology and mission, Fuller Theological Seminary
