Beskrivning
An innovative investigation of the role of the Holy Spirit in Protestant theology, bringing into dialogue St Paul's pneumatology with that of Jurgen Moltmann.This book sets out to change the starting point for theological conversation about the work of the Holy Spirit. Protestant theologians have associated the Spirit's work almost entirely with believers and/or the church. The Spirit's role is to apply Christ's atoning work to God's people. In contrast, early Christian reflection saw the Spirit's main role as bringing about the eschatological rule of God, which reaches beyond individuals or even the church and extends to all creation. 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.

Recensioner i media

"Pastor of a non-denominational church in southern California, Beck says that the doctrine of the Holy Spirit has swung back and forth between an institutional tendency and an experiential tendency in Protestantism since the Reformation. Both make significant contributions to the ongoing understanding of the person and work of the Holy Spirit, he says, but also come with unwanted baggage. Rather than try to rehabilitate one or the other, he proposes Christian eschatology as a third option that comes not from the Protestant tradition but from the original language of pneumatology." Book News Inc, Reference - Research Book News - October 2011 "This is a very stimulating treatment of the relationship between eschatology and pneumatology and readers will find it a useful, insightful introduction to Moltmann in particular." Peter C. Orr, in Theological Book Review
