A Once and Coming Spirit at Pentecost,
By
This review is from: A Once-And-Coming Spirit at Pentecost: Essays on the Liturgical Readings Between Easter and Pentecost, Taken from the Acts of the Apostles and from (Paperback)
Using the mass readings for the weeks following Easter, Raymond Brown tours Acts (with some detours into Luke and John) to explain the role of the Holy Spirit in the early (and contmeporary) church. Catholics, Protestants and charismatic Christians will all find Brown's combination of theological and devotional insight spiritually nourishing. Not difficult reading. He makes clear much that tends to be confusing.

The Understanding of Pentecost Is Expanded through Brown's Writing,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Once-And-Coming Spirit at Pentecost: Essays on the Liturgical Readings Between Easter and Pentecost, Taken from the Acts of the Apostles and from (Paperback)
This book contains five very accessible and useful essays about the Christian feast of Pentecost, written by an important Scripture scholar. Father Brown explores the historical context of the events of the coming of the Holy Spirit to the newly formed Christians, deeply imbedding his ideas in the study of the New Testament books of Acts and John. The reader will gain an expanded understanding of the beginning of the Christian church through Dr. Brown's writings. They always contain thought provoking scholarship, and this volume is another stimulating sampling of his fine mind.

The early church in action,
By
This review is from: A Once-And-Coming Spirit at Pentecost: Essays on the Liturgical Readings Between Easter and Pentecost, Taken from the Acts of the Apostles and from (Paperback)
Raymond Brown has a firm understanding of the progress of the early church from being predominatly a sect within Judaism to a universal church. He is able to perceive that the rosy colour presented by the author of Acts, is not necesaarily historically true. In combining Acts with the readings fromn John's Gospel for the Easter season he is able to present the reader with many issues that faced ther early church, especially in those thatg eventually resulted in Christians being forced out of the synagogues.
