About this title

Review:

Review in Ashland Theological Journal, 2008. 'readable, scholarly, very clear in its argument and, at times, compelling' -- Graham Dow * ANVIL * "...provides a succinct, readable and sober summary of scholarly discussion on these letters." - The Expository Times, April 2006 -- Jonathan A. Draper * Expository Times * "[T]his book and commentary series provide a fine balance between two different needs: (1) to identify and discuss key and critical issues for anyone seriously grappling with NT texts; and (2) to offer readability, conciseness, and application in commentary, writing, especially for an intended lay and pastoral audience. Skagg's commentary will prove useful for sermon preparation and Bible study groups, and as a supplementary text in undergraduate courses that study these epistles."- Chris M. Smith, Pneuma: The Journal of theSociety for Pentecostal Studies, Fall 2005 * PNEUMA: A Journal of the Society for Pentecostal Studies *

Synopsis:

In keeping with the ethos and spirituality of the Pentecostal tradition, to which at least 400 million Christians belong, the writers explore how their scholarship might be contextualized within their own local church body and strengthened by the dynamic interaction between the Holy Spirit, the body of Christ, and the Word of God. The series is conceived of as part of the ministry of the body of Christ, for the glory of God. The structure of the commentaries reflects the dialogical way in which the tradition tends to approach the biblical text. Each volume begins with a series of questions designed to identify corporate and individual issues illuminated in the biblical book. An introduction proper then discloses the need, process, purpose, time, and place of composition, and a detailed discussion of the genre and structure of the book forms the basis of organization for the exposition that follows. This commentary provides a running exposition on the text, extended comments on texts of special significance for Pentecostals, and acknowledges and interacts with major options in interpreting individual passages.

It also provides periodic opportunities for reflection upon and personal response to the biblical text.
