Jos Moons SJ, Ph.D. (2018), Tilburg University (The Netherlands), is a Jesuit priest, lecturer at KU Leuven (Belgium) and researcher at Tilburg University. He has published on sensus fidelium, charisms, the epiclesis, synodality and The Art of Spiritual Direction (2020).

"This volume makes a notable contribution to the ongoing study of the Second Vatican Council. It is essential reading for anyone interested in gaining a comprehensive understanding of contemporary (official) Catholic Pneumatology, not only in its conciliar past, but also where it might well be heading in a near, more synodal, future.", J.Stayne, in: Ephemerides Theologicae Lovaniensis, Volume 99, Issue 1 (2023). "With its careful articulation of methodological and theological issues, this book will be useful for both students at all levels of theological education, as well as seasoned academic scholars. They will welcome its finely nuanced approach to the pneumatology of Lumen Gentium and its ongoing agenda." - Ormond Rush, Australian Catholic University, in: Louvain Studies, Volume 45, Issue 2 (2022)."[I]t is meticulously researched, solidly argued and in the last chapter a forward-looking work. It is not only of interest to catholic theologians focusing on ecclesiology and pneumatology." - Jean-Daniel Plüss, European Pentecostal Charistmatic Research Association, Switzerland, in: Pneuma Volume 44, Issue 3-4 (2022).
