How do we hear the Spirit's voice in Scripture? Once we have done responsible exegesis, how may we expect the Spirit to apply the text to our lives and communities? In Spirit Hermeneutics biblical scholar Craig Keener addresses these questions, carefully articulating how the experience of the Spirit that empowered the church on the day of Pentecost can and should dynamically shape our reading of Scripture today. Keener considers what Spirit-guided interpretation means, explores implications of an epistemology of word and Spirit for biblical hermeneutics, and shows how Scripture itself models an experiential appropriation of its message, a way of reading with faith. Bridging the Word-Spirit gap between academic and experiential Christian approaches, Keener's Spirit Hermeneutics narrates a way of reading the Bible that is faithful both to the Spirit-inspired biblical text and to the experience of the Spirit among believers.|How do we hear the Spirit's voice in Scripture?

This book gives a compelling argument for reading the scriptures from different perspectives such as experiential, christocentric analytical, and eschatological. The writing is explicit with examples.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for Pentecostals, as well

Truly enjoying this book. For a Pentecostal it is both reassuring, as well as a healthy correction to some of our excesses. Being a 4th generation Pentecostal, who has embraced Reformed Theology, I still see great strengths in Pentecostal traditions. That being said, I also recognize many errors and excesses, many of which are dealt with masterfully in this volume. This is my first Keener read, and I will be purchasing his other books for further reading, to be sure.

I enjoyed this book on multiple levels. 1. I appreciated the insights into Scripture hermeneutics in general. 2. The way it was intertwined with Charismatic thread without making it the main point, but a beautiful lens to truly see Scripture. 3. I felt it was written in a way a layman could grasp with just a little effort all that was written. I highly recommend this to anyone.
