Description
The Holy Spirit, once forgotten, has been “rediscovered” in the twentieth century–or has he? Sinclair Ferguson believes we must rephrase this common assertion: “At the same time as his work has been recognized, the Spirit himself remains to many Christians an anonymous, faceless aspect of the divine being.” To be able to redress this balance, Ferguson seeks to get better the who of the Spirit fully up to the what and how. Ferguson’s study is rooted and driven by the scriptural story of the Spirit in creation and redemption. All over he shows himself fully at home in the church’s historical theology of the Spirit and conversant with the big variety of latest Christians who have explored the doctrine of the Holy Spirit. Foundational issues are surveyed and clarified. Hard questions are explored and answered. Clarity and insight radiate from each page. Here is the mature reflection of a Reformed theologian who will summon respect and charity from folks that disagree.
