From the rear cover
"An excellent selection of primary resources old and new. Students from all Christian traditions, and those from none, will find in the material gathered here an excellent introduction to the current state of pneumatological discussion as well as much that enables multiple paths back to the resources of Christian tradition." Lewis Ayres, Emory University
"A remarkable collection of the Church's rich and varied traditions on the Spirit! Assembled here is a splendid array of resources: ancient and modern, Syriac and Latin, Russian and North American. This anthology combines theological treatise with hymn, prayer with exegesis. Rogers' introductions to each selection are gems of pneumatology in their own right, introducing students and scholars to understudied as well as familiar resources." David Jensen, Austin Seminary, Texas
the holy spirit is certainly the most misunderstood member of the Christian trinity. it is often perceived as lagging behind the Father and son, somehow floating free of material reality. is there anything the holy spirit can do that Jesus can't do better?
in order to clarify and explain the role of the holy spirit, this new book provides a comprehensive collection of crucial texts relating to the holy spirit from Christianity's earliest origins to the present day. Foundational issues are questioned, critiqued, and clarified by drawing on greek, latin, Eastern orthodox, Mystical, and oft-neglected syriac and Russian resources from throughout Christianity's rich history. organized by place, time, and type, the readings are each prefaced with a theologically informed essay that draws out the main themes and points out important historical links.
The Holy Spirit will enlighten and inform while inspiring us to engage in deep reflection on the holy spirit's role in the trinity.
