Showing titles in Pneumatology

"I'll be there in spirit." We say this knowing it isn't really possible. Yet we often find ourselves dislocated from the present, inattentive to things in front of us: people, work, culture, ministry opportunities, prayer, and even the Spirit himself. The Holy Spirit, however, relocates us in the present, motivating us to fully engage whatever God puts before us. Instead of relating narrowly to the Spirit based on just a few of his gifts, this book broadens our engagement with him, touring aspects of his vast character that often go unexplored.

As the renowned scholar Thomas Oden noted, "No subject of Christian teaching is more prone to fanaticism and novelty and subjectivism than that of the Holy Spirit." The Bible's own metaphors for the Spirit are as elusive as they are evocative - wind, oil, flame, water, dove - making pneumatology a mysterious study. But shying away from the topic is no solution.

There is great confusion and controversy over the doctrine of the Holy Spirit. Who is he, and what does he do? Is he some type of force? Is he an energy or a thing? Likewise, topics such as spiritual gifts, the baptism in the Spirit, and being filled with the Spirit tend to incite differing views and discord, even amongst the sincerest and most devoted Christians. Because of all this, some have hesitated to study or teach on the Holy Spirit. This is unfortunate, since the Holy Spirit makes possible both the redemption (John 6:8-9, Rom 8:11) and sanctification (1 Pet 1:2) of believers. In ...

Prominent recent studies elevate the themes of "Christoformity" and "Cruciformity" in Paul, but few sufficiently account for how a believer is actually transformed into the image of Christ. Pneumaformity fills the gap in Pauline studies by surveying Paul's letters for teachings on the Spirit's agency in the life of God's people. This study aptly demonstrates that the Holy Spirit is the instrument through whom such radical living is possible.

The Bible clearly highlights the New Testament gift of prophecy as a powerful blessing that is meant to encourage, exhort, and comfort the body of Christ. Tragically, however, decades of unbalanced teaching, unaccountable prophecies, and unhealthy prophets have driven many churches and individuals to abandon the prophetic ministry altogether. In these troubling times the church cannot afford to neglect any of the Kingdom resources that God has made available to His people. "Prophesy" lays out a clear theological framework for the purpose and necessity of the gift of prophecy among us today....

Desde mi primer encuentro con el Espíritu Santo, en mi adolescencia, he estado enamorado de él y he procurado conocerlo cada día más. Hay muy buenos libros al respecto; algunos se basan en la experiencia del autor y otros se enfocan sólo en el estudio teológico. Ambos aspectos son importantes y necesarios, ya que uno sería incompleto sin el otro. La Biblia habla mucho acerca del Espíritu Santo, y en ella vemos una invitación permanente a conocerlo y relacionarnos con él. Por eso, creo que no es sólo un tema para estudiar; más bien, se trata de una persona por conocer, y un ...

Popular author Jack Levison offers a fresh take on the Holy Spirit through a careful reading of every reference to the Spirit in the Gospels. Viewed through the lens of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection, the Spirit shows up at odd times and in odd teachings - in desert sojourns, a strange saying about scorpions and snakes, and puzzling sayings about birth from above and springs from below. Grounded in scholarship yet accessible and inviting, this companion volume to Levison's A Boundless God analyzes key aspects of Jesus' experience of the Holy Spirit.

The primary message: everything we want is possible when we become living spirits. This audiobook is rational, but not a book of the mind. Feelings are expressed, but it is not a book of the emotions. To achieve its purpose, the following lines may even irritate your mind-because we don't know God with our mind. We know God spirit-to-Spirit. What you hold is a book of spirit, for your spirit.

Listening to the Holy Ghost is a book ordained by God given to me through a vision in a dream in July of 2011. For years I thought I knew about God, but I had no idea of His TRUE power. In my personal walk with God, I found out that I was not alone. In fact, many people were and are still unaware of the true power of God. This book covers everything relating to what the Bible calls the Mysteries of the Kingdom. Topics include God, Jesus, the Holy Ghost, Angels, the devil/satin, the antichrist, demons, Prayer, and more.

Have you opened all the gifts God has for you? When it comes to studying spiritual gifts of the Holy Spirit, service gifts might seem less fascinating than power gifts like healing or miracles.

Administrative gifts can be empowered by distinguishing of spirits. Hospitality opens the door to healing. Words of wisdom enrich ministry. Intercessory prayer ministry can be divinely super-charged with ...
