Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“I welcome with great joy the English translation of Haya-Prats's Empowered Believers, a thorough study of Luke's understanding of the Holy Spirit. The author mines Luke's rich vocabulary extracting deep meaning. He lets Luke speak for himself and refuses to force Luke-Acts into an artificial academic mold resulting in a profound insight: according to Luke the Church receives an eschatological Holy Spirit.”
Luke's Rhetorical Compositions
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Elbert provides deep insight into the mind and method of Saint Luke. . . . While showing Luke’s distinctively inspired insights in the proclamation of the church, he also shows that the writer of Luke-Acts is being faithful to the common apostolic witness found in Paul and the Gospel traditions. . . . Elbert, like Saint Luke, writes to the twenty-first century Theophilus ‘that you may know the truth concerning the things in which you have been instructed.’”
Men
“To the serpent, God says the seed of Eve ‘will crush your head.’ From the beginning, we have been at war with the ancient foe. God calls us to be warriors, to ambush those who have set the trap for our souls. Jeff Voth presents the weapons God has, by grace, given us to grind into dust the invisible enemies who hate the image of God in us.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“…Using a redactional and literary approach, Mainville demonstrates that the role of the Holy Spirit is not to be relegated to a mere appendage of Pauline soteriology…”
The Wisdom of the Cross and the Power of the Spirit in the Corinthian Church
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Cletus Hull’s work provides a much-needed corrective for a distortion in the church: power without the cross. Without the cross as an anchor, the power of charisms can be mistaken for magical manipulation to one’s own ends. True activity of the Holy Spirit flows from the wounds of Christ and our participation in his suffering. Crux probat omnia, the cross tests all things.”
