The Spirit of Truth: Reading Scripture and Constructing Theology with the Holy Spirit
Ebook
Overview
Among the theological loci pneumatology is one of the most stimulating, exciting, and difficult topics to study; it is also one of the most rewarding. The identity and mission of the Holy Spirit is pervasive throughout Scripture and the Great Tradition, and within contemporary Christianity it is one of the most popular topics currently being explored. Here ten scholars present twelve essays spanning biblical, hermeneutical, theological, and practical disciplines. The result is not an evangelical pneumatology in systematic fashion, nor is it a comprehensive theology of the Holy Spirit. Rather, this volume presents explorations in pneumatology from a variety of evangelical scholars working in varying contexts (mostly the South Pacific basin) but each wrestling equally with what the Spirit of Truth is saying to the churches today. This is a work of outstanding scholarship with essays by Canadian theologian Gary Badcock and a cast of established and emerging Kiwi-or New Zealand-theologians, which gives the work a unique contextual flavor alongside its ecumenical and evangelical commitment.
”This ’pneumatology from below’-not in the methodological but in
the geographical sense: from New Zealand-extends the contemporary
renaissance of the discussion on the doctrine of the Holy Spirit
across the theological loci and disciplines. A veritable
pneumatological contribution indeed by Myk Habets and his
colleagues from Down Under."

“There has been a resurgence of interest in the Holy Spirit in
recent years and this wide-ranging book edited by Myk Habets, who
is quickly becoming a major contributor to discussions of the
Spirit in contemporary theology, offers reflections that are
profoundly theological and sometimes provocatively challenging but
always helpful in pushing theologians to think more precisely about
the pneumatological dimensions of theology"

"The theology of the Holy Spirit has undergone something of a
renaissance in recent times: this collection reflects a valuable
contribution to that cause. These are stimulating essays on a range
of vital topics in biblical, dogmatic, and practical
pneumatology-scripturally responsible, historically informed, and
justly conscious of the potentially transformative significance of
their theme for Christian existence in the world."
