📱 eBook en inglés THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE RENEWAL OF ALL THINGS

This book sets out to change the starting point for theological conversation about the work of the Holy Spirit. Protestant theologians have associated the Spirits work almost entirely with believers and/or the church. The Spirits role is to apply Christs atoning work to Gods people. In contrast, early Christian reflection saw the Spirits 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 doesfor 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.
