I am a Th.M.(Pentecostal Studies) student with the Asia Pacific Theological
Seminary (APTS) at Baguio City, Philippines. This is a modular program and I
am doing it while still pasturing my church at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I
have also taught Elementary Greek at our Bible College. For my Th.M. thesis,
I have chosen to do Matthean pneumatology. Matthean’s apparent ambivalence
to the Spirit has been noted by others; and that is exactly the reason for
my interest in the topic. With the powerful experience of Acts 2, how can
the author and community of Matthew be so seemingly unenthusiastic about the
Spirit? I suspected that behind the economy of references of to PNEUMA,
there is a distinct authorial intent for teaching a Matthean pneumatology. I
have since then noticed a pattern of development of the use of PNEUMA
through the book of Matthew. I am into the next phase of research: i.e. to
exegete all PNEUMA references in Matthew individually. Are there resources
any of you know of that will help me with my project? Thanks.

[Moderator's note:  The question raised here is essentially outside
 the proper focus of B-Greek and concerns larger questions of
 Biblical criticism, although the time may come when particular
 passages within Matthew's gospel may be brought before this
 forum. I would urge that responses regarding resources that might
 be useful to Yee be sent directly to him rather than to the list. -cwc]
