In The Holy Spirit and Christian Experience, Simeon Zahl presents a
fresh vision for Christian theology that foregrounds the
relationship between theological ideas and the experiences of
Christians. He argues that theology is always operating in a
vibrant landscape of feeling and desiring, and shows that
contemporary theology has often operated in problematic isolation
from these experiential dynamics. He then argues that a
theologically serious doctrine of the Holy Spirit not only
authorizes but requires attention to Christian experience. Against
this background, Zahl outlines a new methodological approach to
Christian theology that attends to the emotional and experiential
power of theological ideas. This methodology draws on recent
interdisciplinary work on affect and emotion, which has shown that
affects are powerful motivating realities that saturate all
dimensions of human thinking and acting. In the process, Zahl also
explains why contemporary theology has often been ambivalent about
subjective experience, and demonstrates that current discourse
about God's activity in the world is often artificially abstracted
from experience and embodiment. At the heart of the book, Zahl
proposes a new account of the theology of grace from this
experiential and pneumatological perspective. Focusing on the work
of the Holy Spirit in salvation and sanctification, he retrieves
insights from Augustine, Luther, and Philip Melanchthon to present
an affective and Augustinian vision of salvation as a pedagogy of
desire. In articulating this vision, Zahl engages critically with
recent emphasis on participation and theosis in Christian
soteriology, and charts a new path forward for Protestant theology
in a landscape hitherto dominated by the theological visions of
Barth and Aquinas.
