Description: This volumes explores the shape pneumatology takes
when we develop the theology of the Holy Spirit within an
eschatological framework that has a universal scope and an
unlimited history. When we do so, we find that pneumatology
deriving from questions about what the Spirit does for us needs to
give way to pneumatology that derives from questions about how the
Spirit can draw us into the saving history of the triune God.
Endorsements: ""Beck gives us two books for the price of one. He
builds on a detailed study of the Apostle's eschatological
framework in pneumatology and allows it to absorb through
interaction the numerous and rich flavours of Moltmann's own
treatment of that very subject, which (I can say) results in
something truly impressive."" --Clark H. Pinnock McMaster Divinity
College, Emeritus "" This volume] provides an excellent point of
entry into the contemporary discussion of some of the most vital
themes of the doctrine of the Holy Spirit. It both clearly and
accurately identifies the role that Pneumatology has played in the
Protestant tradition and the character of its development, as well
as demonstrates why eschatology is now widely recognized as
constituting the essential horizon of the doctrine. The author then
goes on to develop a very insightful account of that connection
between eschatology and Spirit in conversation with the Apostle
Paul in the first century and Jurgen Moltmann in our own. A very
impressive achievement for what began life as a doctoral
dissertation I recommend it highly."" --D. Lyle Dabney, Marquette
University ""We have long needed an account of the relation between
eschatology and pneumatology, between the dawning of the kingdom of
God and the work of the Holy Spirit. David Beck has given us a
splendid volume devoted to this desideratum. Newcomers will find
here an accessible introduction; veterans will find a host of
insights worthy of further reflection; all will be illuminated and
edified."" --William J. Abraham, Perkins School of Theology About
the Contributor(s): T. David Beck is Pastor of Christian Formation
at King's Harbor Church, Redondo Beach, California. He completed
his doctorate at Southern Methodist University, Dallas, Texas.
