I Believe in the Holy Spirit

By Michael Green

Book Overview

Christians throughout the ages have confessed, bI believe in the Holy Spirit, b yet the Holy Spirit has often remained a shadowy figure, relegated to the fringes of many Christiansb faith. In other quarters, the rise of the charismatic movement has made the Holy Spirit a focus of heated controversy. In this new edition of his widely popular book, Michael Green traces the doctrine of the Holy Spirit through the Bible and addresses the issues drawing so much attention today. Enriched by Greenbs extensive teaching, pastoral, and personal experience, I Believe in the Holy Spirit is one of the clearest, well-balanced books ever written on this subject. Comprehensive in his approach, Green includes needed discussion on the relation of the church to the Spiritbs work, the meaning of the gifts of the Spirit, and the need to affirm the ongoing value and challenge of Spirit-based renewal movements.

A Great Read

This is, without doubt, one of the best and most balanced works on the Holy Spirit I have read. The author traces the person and work of the Spirit from Old Testament to New. Of particular interest is his balanced treatment of the fullness of Spirit-given gifts and giftedness within the framework of apostolic history and sacramental theology. The read is scholarly yet is written to be easily comprehended. I highly recommend this work. Dr. T. Merrill, D.Min, MFC

Facets of The Holy Spirit

This is a great book on the Holy Spirit because it covers so much of the different roles, gifts, and its history. Many Christians have heard about the Holy Spirit but do not understand a great deal about Him. Usually, we carry great misunderstanding about Him and allow those misconceptions to rule our perspective of the Holy Spirit. Green does an in depth and thorough job of introducing us to the third in the Godhead.
