In the early church, miraculous workings of the Holy Spirit were normal and normative. Today an ever-increasing number of Christians worldwide self-identify as Pentecostal or charismatic. William A. Simmons argues that this means the church needs a Spirit-centered interpretation of Scripture informed by a Pentecostal lens. In The Holy Spirit in the New Testament, Simmons provides an accessible New Testament introduction that discusses themes and passages of particular interest to Pentecostal readers. Each chapter explores the presence of the Spirit in a biblical book, then offers devotional applications to help readers respond to the text. In Matthew, for example, we discover that there is no Messianic era apart from the Spirit. For Paul in Romans, the Holy Spirit is the authenticating power and emotive heart of God. And Revelation is permeated with the illuminating voice of the Spirit from beginning to end. A Spirit-centered reading breaks down divisions between reason and spirit, mind and emotion. This book opens a dialogue between the academy and the church, demonstrating how sound exegesis speaks to Spirit-filled Christians. In the world and writings of the New Testament authors, we continue to encounter the revelatory presence of God.

Industry Reviews

"William Simmons certainly has his finger on the pulse of global Christianity and the phenomenal growth of the Pentecostal and charismatic movement, as well as the concomitant need for sound and lively theology for this church. He has written a helpful New Testament theology of the Spirit that honors the third person of the Trinity and opens the door for a drawing together of the incarnational and the pneumatic-that is the person and work of the Son and the Spirit-in Christian life and thought. This book may be a further contribution to the movement called 'Third Article Theology,' in which theology is viewed from the lens of the third article of the Nicene Creed. This attempt to overcome dualisms and bring together what is not separated in organic theology-that is exegesis and devotion, theology and praxis, the Christian mind and Christian spirituality and ethics-by the power of the Spirit, by means of a focus on the Spirit in each book of the New Testament, is indeed commendable."
