Jesus before Pentecost studies the history of Jesus' ministry from
William P. Atkinson's Pentecostal perspective. This perspective
affects both his method and the book's content. In terms of method,
Atkinson puts forward a strong argument for looking carefully at
John's Gospel, as well as the synoptic gospels, as a reliable
historical source for Jesus' life. In terms of content, his main
areas of study follow key Pentecostal interests, summed up in the
"foursquare" Pentecostal rubric of Jesus as Saviour, Healer,
Baptiser in the Spirit, and Soon-Coming King. The picture that
emerges offers fresh insights into Jesus' life: notably, the
symbolic meaning Jesus invested in the feeding of the five
thousand; the effect that Jesus' approach to healing the sick had
on Him; the involvement of God's Spirit in His life and in the
lives of those around Him; and, lastly, His enigmatic predictions
of his future coming. Overall, the study is both academically
rigorous and warmly engaging. It will appeal to anyone who is
interested in Jesus, regardless of whether or not they are
associated with the Pentecostal tradition.
