The Relationship Between the Baptism with the Spirit and the Isaianic New Exodus

Foreword

Rick Wadholm Jr.

“Walter Nutt’s exploration of Lucan pneumatology through the lens of Isaiah’s New Exodus is much more than simply associating concepts and terminology. It establishes Isaiah’s New Exodus as paradigmatic for understanding Luke’s presentation of the Spirit. I highly recommend this book to everyone hungry to understand the prophetic continuity of the Spirit’s role among God’s people as powerfully demonstrated by St. Luke.”

“Walter Nutt presents an interesting perspective on the Isaianic new exodus as the pattern behind the stories of Jesus and the early church in Luke/Acts. One of his contributions is what Nutt terms ‘a multidimensional baptism of the Spirit,’ as contrasted to the traditional view of a separation between the Spirit’s work in regeneration and a subsequent empowerment for service and mission. This well documented work should become required reading for theologians and leaders of the Pentecostal persuasion.”
