In Baptism in the Holy Spirit James Dunn argues that water baptism
is only one element in the New Testament pattern of conversion and
initiation. The gift of the Spirit, he believes, is the central
element. For the writers of the New Testament only those who had
received the Holy Spirit could be called Christians. For them the
reception of the Spirit was a very definite and often very dramatic
experience - the decisive and climactic experience in conversion -
initiation - to which Christians were usually recalled when
reminded of their Christian faith and experience. In this book
James Dunn uncovers the place of the gift of the Holy Spirit in the
total complex event of becoming a Christian. His conclusions will
help readers to deepen their understanding of the sacrament of
baptism. Since its original publication in 1970 Baptism in the Holy
Spirit has become a classic of New Testament scholarship. This new
edition, published on the fortieth anniversary of its original
publication, includes a new extended Preface in which James Dunn
engages with the debates about Baptism in the Holy Spirit since it
was first published. James D. G. Dunn was Lightfoot Professor of
Divinity in the University of Durham. He is the author of numerous
best-selling books and acknowledged as one of the world's leading
experts on New Testament study.
