Great Wesleyan Perspective on the Holy Spirit

This is a must book for all those interested in the Wesleyan perspective of the Holy Spirit. I am Pentecostal but am an avid reader of books on the Holy Spirit by other Christians. I enjoyed Carter's in depth treatment of the historical development of the Holy Spirit as well as the overall review of what the Bible teaches about the Holy Spirit from a clearly Wesleyan position. I did, of course, disagree with Carter's approach to 1 Corinthians 12 and 14 despite his usage of the book of Acts to teach that the baptism in the Holy Spirit is in fact a second work of grace (Acts 1:4-5; 2:4). Carter tries to tie the baptism in the Spirit with the Wesleyan distinctive of "entire sanctification" (1 Thess. 5:23-24). Again, I would encourage all who enjoy deep theological studies on the Holy Spirit to include this book in your personal library. A great resource to have.
