This classic, now in paperback edition, introduces the reader to the most distinctive aspect of Pentecostal theology–baptism in the Holy Spirit. James Dunn sees water-baptism as only one element in the New Testament pattern of conversion and initiation. The gift of the Spirit, he believes, is the central element.
James D. G. Dunn is Lightfoot Professor Emeritus of Divinity at the University of Durham in England. He is one of the world’s premier New Testament scholars.
