The Fiery Holy Spirit
The Spirit's Relationship with Judgment in Luke - Acts
Series:
Author:
The baptism with the Spirit and fire has been a major area of study by theologians and has been pursued by the historical church seeking Godâs holiness and power; yet its relationship to judgment has often been ignored. This book explores the Holy Spiritâs relationship with judgment in Luke-Acts through seven texts: Luke 3:16â17; 12:8â10; Acts 5:1â11; 7:51; 8:18â23; 13:9â11; 28:25â28. In these texts, the Holy Spirit is connected with fire, unforgiveness, deception, resistance, greed, blindness, or condemnation. In each instance, Lukeâs presentation is examined to determine the Spiritâs role in the process of judgment. Through the Spirit, Jesus judges, cleanses, purges, and divides his people from the world. Luke portrays the Spirit as the executive power of Jesusâ reign as judge, exposing, opposing, and condemning those who reject the gospel.
Jonathan Kienzler, PhD 2012, University of Aberdeen, is the Biblical Studies Coordinator at Vanguard College, Edmonton, Alberta. He is married to Naomi, and they have three children.
This important treatment of an under-studied aspect of the work of the Holy Spirit according to LukeâActs will be useful to New Testament scholars and students, particularly those interested in pneumatology.
