Synopsis: Among the theological loci pneumatology is one of the
most stimulating, exciting, and difficult topics to study; it is
also one of the most rewarding. The identity and mission of the
Holy Spirit is pervasive throughout Scripture and the Great
Tradition, and within contemporary Christianity it is one of the
most popular topics currently being explored. Here ten scholars
present twelve essays spanning biblical, hermeneutical,
theological, and practical disciplines. The result is not an
evangelical pneumatology in systematic fashion, nor is it a
comprehensive theology of the Holy Spirit. Rather, this volume
presents explorations in pneumatology from a variety of evangelical
scholars working in varying contexts (mostly the South Pacific
basin) but each wrestling equally with what the Spirit of Truth is
saying to the churches today. This is a work of outstanding
scholarship with essays by Canadian theologian Gary Badcock and a
cast of established and emerging Kiwi-or New Zealand-theologians,
which gives the work a unique contextual flavor alongside its
ecumenical and evangelical commitment. Endorsements: "This
'pneumatology from below'-not in the methodological but in the
geographical sense: from New Zealand-extends the contemporary
renaissance of the discussion on the doctrine of the Holy Spirit
across the theological loci and disciplines. A veritable
pneumatological contribution indeed by Myk Habets and his
colleagues from Down Under." --Amos Yong J. Rodman Williams
Professor of Theology Regent University "There has been a
resurgence of interest in the Holy Spirit in recent years and this
wide-ranging book edited by Myk Habets, who is quickly becoming a
major contributor to discussions of the Spirit in contemporary
theology, offers reflections that are profoundly theological and
sometimes provocatively challenging but always helpful in pushing
theologians to think more precisely about the pneumatological
dimensions of theology" --Paul D. Molnar Professor of Systematic
Theology St. John's University, New York "The theology of the Holy
Spirit has undergone something of a renaissance in recent times:
this collection reflects a valuable contribution to that cause.
These are stimulating essays on a range of vital topics in
biblical, dogmatic, and practical pneumatology-scripturally
responsible, historically informed, and justly conscious of the
potentially transformative significance of their theme for
Christian existence in the world." --Ivor J. Davidson Professor of
Systematic & Historical Theology University of St. Andrews
