Gift and Giver : The Holy Spirit for Today

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Leading New Testament scholar Craig Keener explores the role of the Holy Spirit in the church, covering such topics as spiritual gifts, the fruit of the Spirit, the Spirit's power for evangelism, and hearing God's voice. The book includes an updated preface and a substantive new afterword.'Poring over Gift and Giver was a deeply moving experience because it is composed by a world-renowned scholar who is also overtly supernatural in his thinking and life. Some accounts he shares are just flat-out miracles--and encouraging ones at that.'--J. P. Moreland, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University'The levelheaded, anecdotally enriched exegesis that Craig Keener offers in this book broadens the categories of Spirit baptism, ongoing charismata, and current manifestations of the Spirit in a way that is pacifying, unifying, and edifying and neatly rounds off a good deal of recent debate. Disciplined scholarship and pastoral concern blend here most fruitfully, in lines of argument that have real importance for church life today and tomorrow.'--J. I. Packer+, Regent College, Vancouver'Massive learning matched by teaching that will produce a burning heart for more of God. Read this book on your knees.'--R. T. Kendall, former pastor of Westminster Chapel'Keener's book is suitable for college students, seminarians, and general readers. Those within the evangelical and the Pentecostal-charismatic movement will find it especially valuable as a volume that summarizes scholarship on this topic done in these circles over the past few decades.'--Religious Studies Review'Through methodical study of the New Testament and personal illustrations, Keener crafts an accessible, practical book on the gift of the Holy Spirit who was given for the transformation of Christians.'--Barbara Mutch, Christian Reflection.
