A Pneumatology of Race in the Gospel of John
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Estrada provides a much-needed ethnocritical re-examination of the Johannine community, yielding an enriching matrix for understanding and evaluating contemporary ethno-racial relations within the people of the Spirit—the church. By demonstrating that racial and ethnic negotiations are embedded in the Fourth Gospel itself, Estrada gifts the reader with a valuable Spirit-Paraclete ethic for engaging present-day oppressive ethnic ideologies that threaten to dehumanize others within and without the walls of the church.”
Theology
“Félix-Jäger and Shin deliver a thoroughgoing, renewalist Christian worldview, which flows from the central narrative and experience of Pentecost and is rooted in the affections and practices of Spirit-filled believers. In the process, the authors provide a robust philosophical and theological exploration of beauty, goodness, and truth as a resource for thinking about the Christian worldview in the Spirit. This will make an excellent textbook or supplemental reading for Christian worldview courses in need of Pentecostal/Charismatic perspectives.”
Christian Living
“McGever leads us on a thought-provoking journey of self-discovery into the beautiful realizations of our God-given limitations. Along the path, he paints a relatable portrait filled with personal and familial anecdotes, helping readers find freedom through the knowledge of the limits of their humanity. This book makes a great gift for anyone needing to understand how they can flourish despite real inadequacies, through reliance in God and in community with fellow less-than-perfect believers.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Pinon weaves together a tightly argued and engaging historical recovery of the ivory tower influence of Francisco Vitoria's philosophical humanism to model how contemporary scholars can and should fight for social justice with the power of the written word. The Ivory Tower and the Sword is an illuminating and thought-provoking read that challenges previous ill-informed misreadings of Vitoria, and establishes an early interdisciplinary approach for doing theology from within the belly of empire.”
Theology
“Smith threads an innovative pneumatological approach by weaving a biblically oriented tapestry of images and metaphors of the Spirit. What really makes this book a must-read is the intentionality of the second part, which moves from text to contexts where the Spirit is experienced. I pray the author's call to a missional, global, and ecclesial pneumatology will lead us all to cry out, 'Welcome, Holy Spirit, renew your church!'”
