Book Overview

This work illuminates the tension between divine empowering and the neglected element of the work of the spirit in contexts of opposition. This lacuna, not addressed in previous pentecostal scholarship is at the heart of Mittelstadt's exegesis. Thus, Jesus not only lives and ministers in the power of the holy spirit, but also experiences opposition and persecution as a man of the spirit. Further, the Lukan Jesus not only transfers the spirit to his disciples, but also anticipates a similar fate for his followers. Finally, Luke forecasts that this divine enablement of the spirit also available for future witnesses brings with it a similar anticipation of the same rejection and opposition as experienced by Jesus and the disciples. While Pentecostals owe a debt of gratitude for the pioneering work of pentecostal scholars, this book seeks to further their efforts by exploring the implications of spirit-led witness in Luke-Acts.
