In The Holy Spirit: Works & Gifts Donald Bloesch aptly brings
his grasp of historical and systematic theology together with his
deep concern for spirituality. The fruit of a lifetime of study and
devotion, this work masterfully interweaves biblical study,
historical overviews, and reflection on contemporary developments
and issues to shed light on faith in God the Holy Spirit. On a
topic that sadly threatens to divide the church, Bloesch strives to
build bridges between the various traditions of Christian faith,
especially between Reformed theology and the Pentecostal movement.
Building on the inaugural volume of the Christian Foundations
series, A Theology of Word & Spirit, Bloesch guards against the
equal dangers of a subjective spiritualism and a cold formalism. He
speaks out of the perspective of the Protestant Reformation with
its emphasis on the complementarity of Word and Spirit and the
priority of grace over works. But he also acknowledges the
Pentecostal perception that the work of the Spirit involves
empowering for witness as well as sealing for salvation. Bloesch
likewise finds truth in the mystical tradition of Roman Catholicism
and Eastern Orthodoxy that the Spirit calls us to holiness of life
as well as to a decision of faith.
This wide-ranging and in-depth reflection on the presence,
reality and ministry of the Holy Spirit serves as a landmark guide
to those seeking a faithful theological understanding of the Holy
Spirit as well as those searching for a renewing and empowering
hope for the church of Jesus Christ.
