The Spirit at the Cross (Australian College of Theology Monograph)
by Carolyn E L Tan
Almost everyone has an opinion about Jesus, be it conscious or unconscious, rational or irrational. This clear and concise, anecdotal book encourages the reader not only to acknowledge what they believe about Jesus, but why they believe it.
Unique for its breadth in studying theologians not only from Europe and North America but also from Latin America, Asia, and Africa, this landmark volume introduces the doctrine of the Trinity, examining the work and thought of contemporary theologians throughout the world. Veli-Matti Karkkainen provides an overview of the biblical roots of the doctrine, discussing both the idea of plurality in God in the Old Testament and the rise of Trinitarian understandings in the New Testament. He details t...
What would God say about those who blatantly misrepresent His Holy Spirit; who exchange true worship for chaotic fits of mindless ecstasy; who replace the biblical gospel with vain illusions of health and wealth; who claim to prophesy in His name yet speak errors; and who sell false hope to desperate people for millions of dollars?The charismatic movement has always been a breeding-ground for scandal, greed, bad doctrine, and all kinds of spiritual chicanery. As a movement, it is clearly headed...
The Trinitarian Testimony of the Spirit (Vigiliae Christianae, Supplements, #147)
by Kyle Hughes
In The Trinitarian Testimony of the Spirit, Kyle R. Hughes offers a new approach to the development of early Christian pneumatology by focusing on how Justin, Irenaeus, and Tertullian linked the Holy Spirit with testimony to the deity and lordship of the Father and the Son.

Mit der Ausbildung der Trinitatslehre wurde der Geist Gottes als dritte Person der Trinitat verstanden. Umstritten aber blieb das Verstandnis der Personalitat des Geistes. Geht man vom Wirken des Geistes aus, dann versteht man, -was der Geist tut-, geht man von den trinitarischen Beziehungen aus, versteht man, -wer der Geist ist-. In dieser Arbeit wird...
Bestselling author and pastor Lloyd John Ogilvie has spent years observing - and experiencing himself - the deep needs of Christians, and why those needs for love, comfort, guidance, or discernment often go unmet. In "Experiencing the Power of the Holy Spirit", he draws on Scripture to illuminate the living and active work of the Spirit. Because many believers have a limited view of their great Advocate, Counselor, Helper, and Companion, they don't realize that in day-to-day life they can depend...
