Frank D. Macchia argues that the Son of God baptized (and continues
to baptize) humanity in the Spirit by pouring forth the Spirit on
the Day of Pentecost. All four Gospels and the book of Acts
describe how the Son is sent of the Father and empowered by the
Spirit to fulfil this mission; Macchia in turn claims that Christ
succeeds by incorporating others into himself and into the love of
the Father. The Spirit-Baptized Church proposes a richly
pneumatological ecclesiology that is dominated by a Pentecostal
confessional concern, while also open to a larger ecumenical
conversation. The volume focuses not only on the dogmatic
(Trinitarian) foundations and election processes of the
Spirit-baptized church, but also on its marks and witnessing
practices. As an exceptionally detailed study of the
Spirit-baptismal metaphor, this volume is a valuable resource for
scholars of ecclesiology, Pentecostalism, and systematic theology.
