The Influence of the Holy Spirit: The Popular View of the Apostolic Age and the Teaching of the Apostle

By Hermann Gunkel

Book Overview

This little book, the first by Hermann Gunkel, shattered the reigning images of the New Testament idea of the Spirit. Gunkel's argument not only revolutionized the theology of his time but has continued to be foundational for most subsequent studies on the subject. As he did in so much of his work, Gunkel not only explores the milieu of the New Testament but also demonstrates the dependence of the biblical message upon its religious environment.
