The word ruah (commonly translated as breath, wind, spirit, or
Spirit) occurs in the Old Testament 378 times--more frequently than
torah, shalom, or Sabbath. In this volume, a popular Old Testament
scholar, whose previous books have received wide acclaim, cracks
open the challenging and provocative world of the Spirit in the Old
Testament, offering readers cogent yet comprehensive insights.
Grounded in scholarship yet accessible and inviting, this book
unlocks the world of the Spirit, plunging readers into an
imaginative realm of fresh senses, sounds, and skills. The book
gives readers the opportunity to recapture Israel's tenacious sense
of the Spirit's energy as it was expressed by a series of vibrant
verbs: blowing, breathing, coming, resting, passing, pouring,
filling, cleansing, standing, and guiding. Readers will encounter
in these pages all of the Old Testament expressions of the
Spirit--passages that will challenge the conventional, confront the
commonplace, and transport them to a world of wisdom, work, and
wonder.
