"To think about the Spirit it will not do to think 'spiritually':
to think about the Spirit you have to think materially," claims
Eugene F. Rogers. The Holy Spirit, who in classical Christian
discourse "pours out on all flesh," has tended in modern theology
and worship to float free of bodies. The result of such
disembodiment, contends Rogers, is that our talk about the Spirit
has become flat and uninspiring. In "After the Spirit Rogers
diagnoses a related gap in the revival of trinitarian theology, a
mentality that "there's nothing the Spirit can do that the Son
can't do better."
The Eastern Christian tradition, by contrast, has usually linked
the Holy Spirit with holy places, holy people, and holy things.
Weaving together a rich tapestry of sources from this tradition,
Rogers locates the Spirit in the Gospel stories of the
annunciation, Jesus' baptism, the transfiguration, and the
resurrection. These stories offer illuminating glimpses into both
the Spirit's connection with the tangible world and the Spirit's
distinctive place in relation to the other persons of the
Trinity.
Eight gorgeous color plates complement Rogers's witty and
passionate prose.
