  Additional Info
  Among the different understandings of the Spirit in the New Testament, Paul’s Spirit language stands out for being at once dynamic and sometimes impersonal-inviting comparison with the Stoic notion of spirit (pneuma) as a substance. Volker Rabens reexamines Paul’s statements about the Spirit in the widest possible contexts and argues that the alleged parallels with Stoic conceptions are at best ambiguous. Paul understands the work of the Spirit relationally, Rabens argues, and it is through intimate relationships that the Spirit transforms and empowers people’s lives.

  Spirit And Christ In The New Testament And Christian Theology

  $63.99

  This volume gathers writings about the Spirit and Christ by notable scholars such as Richard Bauckham, D. A. Carson, James Dunn, and others. Covering such topics as the life-giving work of the Spirit, the Spirit in Luke and Acts, the gift of the Spirit in John 19-20, pneumatology and justification, and community life through the Spirit, the twenty essays included take a primarily biblical and theological approach. The result is a fitting tribute to Max Turner, whose outstanding scholarship has focused on pneumatology and Christology.
