Pentecostal Theology and the Theological Vision of N.T. Wright

The theological work and vision of New Testament scholar N. T. Wright is justifiably well-known across the academy and the church. In this volume a variety of Pentecostal biblical and theological scholars engage his work on many points including: identification of the broad implications of his work for Pentecostals (Jeffrey S. Lamp), Wright's view of Jesus' self-understanding (Chris E. W. Green), the pneumatological dimensions of his hermeneutical method (Timothy Senapatiratne), the relationship between Wright's view of justification and the 'Cry of the Spirit' (Rick Wadholm Jr), the relationship between justification and the Spirit (Frank D. Macchia), reading Paul through the lens of Dispensationalism (Glen W. Menzies), the communion of the Saints in Wright's eschatological perspective (Janet Meyer Everts), and the present mission of the church in the world (Jeffrey S. Lamp). The Preface to the book is offered by Amos Yong. The volume concludes with an extended response to these studies by N. T. Wright where he enters into constructive conversation with his Pentecostal dialogue partners, a conversation that is certain to continue.
