This is a short not too intense book that manages to cover quite a big topic. If you’ve read any of the books in this series you will know how clearly the subject is explained and how objectively different points of view are described. And it goes for this book on the Holy Spirit too.
As I say it’s not a long book, but each chapter covers a different aspect of this tricky subject. Early on in the book it is rightly pointed out that there are many ways of talking about the Spirit and how the Spirt works. Untangling what they all mean can be difficult but this book sets out to do just that and makes clear what the Bible does say about the Spirit.
What struck me most about this book is how comforting it is. Learning about the Holy Spirit isn’t meant to be frightening or confusing and from reading this book I was reminded of how much God loves and cares for us and wants to develop a relationship with us. I would highly recommend this book as a starting place for getting clear on what the Bible has to say about the Holy Spirit and how those passages have been interpreted differently by various viewpoints. What is great is that despite these differences there is stable common ground.
