The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit

by Donald T. Williams

When New Testament writers mention God's pledge to grant his Holy Spirit, their words depict more than just a simple promise to make available his comfort.

Still unified mystery to me

A God Who could be dissected into Constituent Parts wouldn't be much of a God. Indeed, resistance to the idea of a Trinitarian Deity historically has probably had this motive behind it. That Williams' book enriches our understanding of the Holy Spirit with thoroughness and grace and enhances our sense of mystery and unity within the Divine Trinity at the same time is witness to his skill and commitment as a Biblical scholar. The reader has access within these pages to careful research and honest evaluation in a subject full of potential controversy and dissension among the Christian community. Questions of application follow explication; this is characteristic of Williams' writing. To be good is to be good for something and that this is.
