This book attempts to make a contribution to the New Testament
doctrine of the Spirit, with special reference to the paraclete
problem. Dr Johnston begins with the use of the word 'spirit' in
the Gospel of John and treats it as primarily 'impersonal'. It
denotes divine power or energy. God acts by his spirit, both to
create and to redeem. The Fourth Evangelist shows Jesus as the
incarnate Word, a man uniquely inspired, whose absence after death
is compensated for by an outburst of spiritual powers in his
Church. The paraclete is representative of God or of Christ, and
the Johannine teaching is that no angelmediator, no holy 'spirit'
like the Archangel Michael, can take Christ's place. But truly
inspired leaders - acting as teachers, exegetes, martyrs - and the
inspired Church itself as a communion of love do embody the
spirit-paraclete and do continue to represent Jesus. Special
attention is paid to recent research on this subject, mainly in the
area of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Dr Johnston argues that in insisting
that the true spirit-paraclete must always exalt and interpret
Jesus of Nazareth as the final revelation of God in man, John was
in fact combating heretical views.
