This volume in the Basic Guides to Christian Theology series
presents a compact discussion of the Holy Spirit in Christian
theology. Written by a leading expert on this doctrine, it begins
with biblical perspectives on the Holy Spirit, and moves on to
describe how the Spirit was understood through the major periods in
the history of Christian thought, from the early church to the
present. It is global in approach and considers contributions from
theologians throughout the world. This brief volume provides an
excellent overview of how the Holy Spirit has been and is currently
understood in Christian theology.
Theologians from the early church to the present have written
much about the Holy Spirit and Christian salvation. This extensive
sourcebook of primary theological texts makes many of these
writings available with a description of their context and
importance. Especially valuable are more recent works emerging from
theologians in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. This global
perspective, coupled with the broad selection of writings from the
history of theology, makes this the most complete collection of
primary source material on these topics.
In our rapidly changing and progressively globalized world,
Christians and Muslims are faced with the prospect of directly
encountering and responding to people of other faiths and cultures.
This has pushed us all to address the vital question of how best to
live with, work beside, and love one other as fellow citizens of
our planet. Using resources from Christian theologian Wolfhart
Pannenberg, Muslim ethicist Abdulaziz Sachedina, and several
others, Winkler argues that we must continually dialogue with one
another--not only about the beliefs and practices held in common
between us, but also about the ways in which we are distinctively
different. Only then can we take the opportunity more
comprehensively to understand, appreciate, and cooperate with each
other to build just, moral, and cohesive communities of hope in our
often uncertain and unsettling times.
