Riassunto

A comprehensive account of the role and work of the Spirit, covering the entire Bible. Written by a team of leading evangelical scholars, including world authorities such as Craig Bartholomew, David deSilva, James D. G. Dunn, Walter Kaiser and Max Turner. Informed by the latest scholarship. Any attempt at a 'biblical theology' must begin with a careful exegesis of the biblical text. To this end, each contributor addresses either a book or genre in one of the testaments through a rigorous exegesis of pertinent texts, keeping in mind the genre, canonical contexts and sweep of redemptive history. The diversity of the biblical documents, and the times in which they were written, will doubtless result in different perspectives and emphases being presented by different biblical authors. But if one Author stands behind Scripture, one would expect there to be a consistency to emerge from across the biblical canon. With this in view, each contributor keeps in mind the broader theological themes that may arise from their exegesis of the text, with the aim of attempting a synthesis of the findings.

Recensione:

''For anyone who wants to know what the Bible says about the Holy Spirit, this is the book to read! A wealth of leading biblical scholars and theologians, each of whom has a personal engagement with the subject matter, examines the entirety of the (Protestant) biblical canon, helping the reader discover how the biblical texts contribute to a contemporary understanding of the Holy Spirit. Whatever books you choose to read about this vital area of Christian theology, make sure this is one of them.'' --Glenn M. Balfour, Principal, Mattersey Hall Christian College, Doncaster

''Pentecost was not the debut of the Holy Spirit. In this broad yet sensitive sweep across the Bible, a team of international scholars shows that from eternity the Spirit has been an active member of the Godhead . . . In a stream of developing themes, this book offers the reader a unique opportunity to explore the generosity of God seen in the life-giving and resurrecting power of his Spirit in the pages of the Bible and beyond!'' --Graham H. Twelftree, Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity, Regent University, USA

''A remarkable array of scholars assembles here to write a remarkable book that covers most comprehensively the theology of the Spirit from Genesis to Revelation. This collection is focused, coherent and non-partisan. Essential reading for every student of the Bible.'' --- Allan H. Anderson, Professor of Mission and Pentecostal Studies, University of Birmingham

'This is an excellent, insightful and refreshing resource and will open doors for extremely fruitful reflection on the Spirit. It comes highly recommended.' --Lucy Peppiatt, Principal, Westminster Theological Centre, UK
