Justified in the Spirit: creation, redemption, and the triune God

About this book

"The Pentecostal Manifestos series aims to speak for and to a rising, outward-looking generation of Pentecostal scholarship. Written by both established and newly emerging scholars, the various "manifesto" volumes will be creative statements, marked by rigorous theological scholarship, reflecting a distinctly Pentecostal engagement with wider themes and concerns in Christian thought today." "The Second Volume of the groundbreaking Pentecostal Manifestos series, Frank Macchia's Justified in the Spirit offers a pneumatological, Pentecostal-friendly theology of justification by faith that is broadly Trinitarian, ecclesiological, and eschatological in orientation." ""It is a necessary and new perspective to see the justification of the sinner embraced by the life-giving Spirit. Frank Macchia's book is a great step forward toward a full Trinitarian concept of salvation ... A rich book full of solutions to old theological problems."J︣nrgen Moltmann, University of Tilbingen" ""Argues persuasively that Christian teaching about the Spirit (pneumatology) has much to offer to a correct understanding of justification ... We have here a book of singular consequence."W︣illiam G. Rusch, Yale Divinity School" ""A noted systematician and ecumenist, Macchia gleans from his own Pentecostal tradition in his intriguing revisioning and reorientation of the major soteriological concept of justification by faith."V︣eli-Matti KSrkkSinen, Fuller Theological Seminary University of Helsinki" ""With Macchia's Justified in the Spirit Pentecostal systematic theology has come of age ... Catholics and Protestants will no longer be able to attribute a secondary role to the Spirit, while Pentecostals will discover the hidden treasures that their movement signifies."R︣alph Del Colle, Marquette University"--Jacket.
