The role of the Holy Spirit in the development of the early church
was absolutely crucial as the New Testament documents were being
written and circulated. However many first-century believers, often
unacquainted with the Old Testament, had little knowledge of the
work of God's Spirit. Therefore the New Testament writers sought to
explain his character and mission in the events they recorded and
through the letters they penned. Nevertheless, many Christians
today have only a vague understanding of the Holy Spirit--the
comfort he offers, the gifts he imparts--but few could articulate
his vital role in the life of every believer.
Taking a "text-driven" approach, Warrington moves beyond the
controversy and sensationalism associated with charismatic
phenomena to examine the third person of the Trinity himself.
Progressing from Matthew to Revelation, this in-depth study allows
the scriptures to speak out of their original contextual situations
and into our lives today.
Readers will gain an appreciation of the Spirit as a complex, wise,
creative, powerful, and personal member of the Godhead who is sent
to equip, empower, affirm, inspire, gift, and ultimately transform
the people of God. Each chapter concludes with helpful study
questions and a useful bibliography.
