Dr. Roger J. Stronstad is a Canadian Pentecostal Bible scholar and theologian.[1] He is an Associate Professor in Bible and Theology at Summit Pacific College (formerly Western Pentecostal Bible College) in Abbotsford, British Columbia.He has also published six books.
[edit] Works
In The Charismatic Theology of St. Luke (1984), he argues for a Pentecostal interpretation of Luke-Acts. He contends that Luke believed the gift of the Spirit was vocational, rather than soteriological or ethical, i.e. the Holy Spirit was given to empower them to be witnesses, rather than to bring them salvation.
In Spirit, Scripture and Theology (1995), Stronstad surveys Pentecostal hermeneutics (methods of biblical interpretation), examining the views of Gordon D. Fee, Howard M. Ervin and William H. Menzies. Again he returns to Luke-Acts to formulate his own hermeneutical approach.
In The Prophethood of All Believers (1999), he builds on his interpretation of Luke-Acts, focusing on the Holy Spirit as the giver of prophetic gifts to the Church.
He is also co-editor (with French L. Arrington and Timothy Jenney) of the Life in the Spirit New Testament Commentary (2003).
