A Prologue to Studies in the Fourth Gospel

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Drawing from two decades in the classroom, Riku Tuppurainen organizes his thematic study of the Gospel of John around topics that have proven most helpful to students and explains them with the clarity of a master teacher. And taking his cue from the academy, he orients his readers to some of the scholarly debates about John, including the current preoccupation with reading theories, about which Tuppurainen should be praised for advancing the benefits of an integrated approach.”

The Charismatic Theology of St. Luke

Theology

“With the publication of Stronstad's The Charismatic Theology of St. Luke in 1984, pentecostal scholarship on Luke-Acts introduced itself to the academic community. By tracking plot patterns and considering Luke's storytelling techniques, Stronstad found Luke's understanding of the mission of Christ and the church, and the nature of Spirit empowerment to effect it. In our graduate curriculum, this book is the cornerstone of our 'pentecostal distinctives' course. With this updated edition, the book's contribution will live on, hopefully until the mission is complete.”
