Overview

Popular author Jack Levison offers a fresh take on the Holy Spirit through a careful reading of every reference to the Spirit in the Gospels. Viewed through the lens of Jesus’s life, death, and resurrection, the Spirit shows up at odd times and in odd teachings—in desert sojourns, a strange saying about scorpions and snakes, and puzzling sayings about birth from above and springs from below. Grounded in scholarship yet accessible and inviting, this companion volume to Levison’s A Boundless God analyzes key aspects of Jesus’s experience of the Holy Spirit, offering nuggets of insight on every page.
