Venema) He is one of the greatest British scholars of the New Testament and his works are widely based on the evangelical tradition. Dunn was made the President of 'Studiorum Novi Testamenti Societies' which was an international body for the study of the New Testament in the year 2002. Besides him, only three other British scholars have been given this honor.

A dedication to Dunn in the form of a 'festschrift' was published in 2005 and it comprised of articles written on the New Testament by 27 other scholars like him. These articles examined the early Christian beliefs involving the Holy Spirit. (Edited by Graham N. Stanton, Bruce W. Longenecker & Stephen Barton 2004)

The core of Dunn's work is based primarily on a monograph on the study of the New Testament with a bit of influence of Pentecostalism in the last decade. This book is essentially quite useful to scholars, students and ministers because it throws light on the finer aspects of Pentecostal Theology especially - baptism in the Holy Spirit.

The main thesis contained in this book is the knowledge to enlighten the Christians who go according to the New Testament, to come to understand the actual meaning and place of the Holy Spirit and baptism and begin to look at it from a more critical angle.

According to Dunn, salvation is experienced in two stages - the first is in becoming a Christian and the second is in experiencing the greatness of the Holy Spirit. For many Puritans the second experience was one of assurance. (See J.I Pracker, 1956)
