Solving the Samaritan Riddle

The book explores the Samaritan riddle central to the Dunn Debate regarding the timing of Spirit baptism in relation to conversion. It contrasts Dr. James D. G. Dunn's view that baptism in the Holy Spirit occurs at conversion with classical Pentecostal beliefs that it follows conversion and is marked by speaking in tongues. The author, Zarley, supports the Pentecostal perspective on subsequence for certain groups while arguing that subsequent Spirit baptism is a universal experience after Peter's pivotal role in the early church.
