"Spirit of Truth" is a two-volume study of the origin and
development of the teaching on the Holy Spirit as it appears in the
Gospel and First Epistle of John. Scholarly works on Johannine
pneumatology have tended to concentrate on the image of Spirit as
Paraclete or Advocate and have neglected the specific "hermeneutic"
or teaching - interpreting role attributed to the Spirit throughout
the New Testament and specifically in the thought of the fourth
evangelist. The purpose of this study is to explore and explain how
this hermeneutic function developed in Johannine thought and
ecclesial experience, and to stress its vital implications for
scriptural interpretation and preaching within the church community
today. The first volume traces the origin of the image of Spirit as
"Spirit of Truth" through the Old Testament and intertestamental
Judaism. Its dualistic aspect ("spirit of truth/spirit of
deception"), as I John 4;6) is shown to be rooted in the Dead Sea
Scrolls and, ultimately, in the ethical-eschatological dualism of
the Iranian prophet Zarathustra. Many of the findings in this
"history-of-religious" quest are new and have never before been
presented in published form.
