The Spirit who inspired the authors of the New Testament is at work today around the globe, as evidenced by the explosive growth of Pentecostal, charismatic, and renewalist movements. There is a clear need for a balanced, affordable, and accessible commentary series aimed at Christians who identify as Spirit-filled.
The Word and Spirit Commentary on the New Testament series emphasizes how we listen alongside ancient audiences for the Spirit's voice in our time and contexts. Written by pastorally sensitive biblical scholars from the Spirit-filled tradition, these commentaries explore how God works in the biblical texts and how Christians can expect God to work today, even if in new or culturally surprising ways. Series editors are Holly Beers, Westmont College, and Craig S. Keener, Asbury Theological Seminary.
In this addition to the series, senior scholar Ben Witherington III engages 2 Corinthians in its ancient setting and explores its message for Spirit-filled Christians today. Images, illustrations, and sidebars on Pentecostal/charismatic/revival history or insights are included.
