Dynamic Reading of the Holy Spirit in Luke-Acts

This book is a challenge to both historical-critical and 'pure' literary-critical approaches to the subject of the Holy Spirit in Luke-Acts through a new and holistic perspective, 'dynamic biblical narrative criticism'.

This wide-ranging study also considers theological implications raised for today's readers.Read less
