3 Crucial Questions About the Holy Spirit

by Craig S. Keener

Fruitfully blending disciplined scholarship with pastoral concern, 3 Crucial Questions about the Holy Spirit establishes a middle ground between extreme views of the Holy Spirit's work today. Speaking as both a respected scholar and charismatic, Keeener affirms the validity of spiritual gifts while seeking to restore a biblical emphasis on why the gifts are given to empower the Church's evangelistic witness in the world.

This one may be the clearest I've read concerning the workings of the Spirit. A 'charismatic scholar', who wudda thunk it?!
