This book identifies areas of continuity betwixt the piece of work of the spirit in the Old Attestation, Luke, and Acts.
Rather than offering a biblical theology of the Holy spirit, he seeks to demonstrate a design of the Spirit's charismatic work.

By examining the examples of various prophets, Jesus, and his disciples, he observes that the Spirit is given not at conversion, but at once calling to ministry. The spirit equips people to witness, shown by the signs of prophecy and tongues.

The writer has taken on a daunting task of trying to formulate a pattern in the varied and diverse accounts of the book of Acts. Nevertheless, he certainly sheds light on the emphases of Luke as a author.

Yet, he leaves more than questions unanswered than answered.
How does this specific view of the work of the Holy Spirit harmonized with the words of John and Paul, which he admits are very different? (125)
If Luke's description is of how Christ's mission is carried into new places, and not normative Christian experience, and then what should be considered normative? (130)

He ends on a more balanced annotation, pointing out that different traditions emphasize salvation, sanctification, and service. His goal has been to emphasize service, seeing that it has been neglected past some traditions. (134)

Overall, while he succeeds in showing the importance of the Spirit for witness, service, and mission, he makes it appear that Luke does non agree with others about the Spirit's role in salvation and sanctification. Stronstad uses quite exclusive language, and I wish he would treat Luke and other biblical writers as more than complementary.

I would dearest to run across a sequel, where he builds off of his closing remarks, formulating a more than integrated view of the work of the Spirit.

Follow me on twitter @rrfigg to run into my highlighted quotes of the book chapter past chapter. Excellent reading if you believe in the power of the Holy Ghost! This does not talk most the Pauline theology of the Spirit only as the titles suggests its Lukan historicity and theology of the HolySpirit in Luke/Acts

a very practiced book that goes in depth about how luke speaks about the Holy Spirit in Luke-Acts! he compares it to the Holy Spirit in the OT equally well every bit described by Paul! a good read, just certainly over my head at times.

I read this book over the summer and then ended upwardly reading Craig Keener's book, Gift Giver: The Holy Spirit for Today. I came back to this book after reading Keener's book and realized I enjoyed the Keener book more. Thus, I am revising my rating on this book. Keener's book focused more on where Pentecostals have unity on issues of the Spirit, and the unity Keener brings to the table overrides my involvement in the theology Stronstad states about baptism of the Spirit.
