This book offers the first critical survey of scholarship on the subject of Luke's view of the Spirit, assessing rival theories by means of three criteria: continuity with Luke's 'background', relationship to other aspects of Luke's theology, and Luke's place in the development of more general New Testament thinking about the Spirit. Turner provides fresh light on specific Lukan concepts and favoured terms which have been of signifigance not merely for the discipline of New Testament studies but also for confessional theologies of major streams of Christianity today, and seeks to advance a more coherent understanding of the general shape of Luke's pneumatology than has hithterto been offered.
