Characters in the Second Gospel are analysed and an in-depth look at different approaches currently employed by scholars working with literary and reader-oriented methods of analysis is provided. The first section consists of essays on method/theory, and the second consists of seven exegetical character studies using a literary or reader-oriented method. All contributors work from a literary, narrative-critical, reader-oriented, or related methodology.The book summarizes the state of the discussion and examines obstacles to arriving at a comprehensive theory of character in the Second Gospel. Specific contributions include analyses of the representation of women, God, Jesus, Satan, Gentiles, and the Roman authorities of Mark's Gospel. This work is both an exploration of theories of character, and a study in the application of those theories.

As long as people have heard the name of Jesus and believed his teachings, the Holy Spirit has been at work in the hearts and minds of people. If you have heard the good news about his life, death, resurrection, and the gift of the Holy Spirit, you are part of the continued work of Jesus Christ in the earth. This book has been written for those who desire to better understand the role of the Holy Spirit in the life of the Christian. The book of Acts contains more than a historical record of the early followers of Jesus; it contains the last words and instructions of Jesus to his closest followers before his ascension into heaven. As his last words, Jesus made a clear emphasis on the power and indwelling of the Holy Spirit upon which generations of his disciples would depend on. The central focus of this book is the nature and power of the Holy Spirit within and among his followers. In the end, the proof of Acts 29 is found in our living! In a variety of ways, the truth continues to provide an unmistakable bond between each generation of Jesus's disciples. The message Jesus spoke directly to his disciples in the beginnings of Luke's historical record continues to be boldly lived out by millions of believers today. Jesus's mandate to believe and be saved and then to be baptized in the Holy Spirit is still relevant for us today.
