<p>This study offers a new look at Luke’s writings in proposing Acts 2:33 as the interpretative key. It shows how the important passages of Luke-Acts (annunciation, baptism, ascension, Pentecost, etc.) find their meaning from the proclamation contained in Acts 2:33. It shows that Luke had to have had this proclamation in mind at the moment he structured the plan of this double volume. The study also contributes to the emphasis of the inseparability of the pneumatological challenges and the christological and ecclesiological ones in Luke’s writings. It brings out in an incontestable manner, the great theological unity of the contents of the third Gospel and the book of Acts.</p>

<p>"Odette Mainville's...book, The Spirit in Luke-Acts, is a most careful, enlightening, and fresh interpretation of the Holy Spirit's Role in Luke and Acts, from the surprising starting point of a single verse, Acts 2:33...I wholeheartedly endorse this book...." -William S. Kurz, S.J., Emeritus Professor of New Testament, Marquette University"...As someone who has devoted a whole book to a theological exposition of Acts 2:33, I regard this as a most worthwhile endeavor. What emerges is a work that engages fully with the Spirit's vitality in the life of Jesus and in the mission of the church...." -William P. Atkinson, PhD, Senior Lecturer, London School of Theology"...I warmly recommend this insightful reading of Luke-Acts to you. It is filled with interesting exegesis and challenging observations....I trust that you will find this book as enjoyable, enriching, and edifying as I did." -Robert P. Menzies, PhD, Missionary-Scholar (China), from the foreword"Mainville's...work...integrates the central theme in Luke-Acts, in a way that traditional systematic theology does not, viz, Jesus's experiences with the Spirit toward the end of creating a 'community of prophets'..." -Jon Mark Ruthven, PhD, Professor Emeritus, Regent University School of Divinity"...Using a redactional and literary approach, Mainville demonstrates that the role of the Holy Spirit is not to be relegated to a mere appendage of Pauline soteriology..." -James B Shelton, PhD, Professor of New Testament, Oral Roberts UniversityMainville's work is helpful both for its engagement with traditional approaches and for its fresh contributions and insights....This is surely a welcome study." -Craig S.
