The church has been called to participate in God's mission in the world. But without a robust, biblical sense of the Spirit's action, how can we be sure we're fulfilling that call? Gary Tyra employs a biblical theology of the Holy Spirit to deepen and inform our understanding of life as the church, the people of God. Since the church's mission to and into the world is both evangelistic and prophetic, the task calls for the working of the Spirit in our preaching, proclamation and service. Tyra b...
The Holy Spirit (John Owen) (Treasures of John Owen for Today's Readers)
by John Owen
The fraud and manipulation, which abounds in the church under the pretence that it is the work of the Holy Spirit, make this book required reading. Things excellent in themselves and acknowledged by all Christians are often counterfeited; the more worthy any thing is, the more destructive is the abuse of it. All believers must “try the spirits” because false prophets and false teachers deprive us of liberty. Some people claim to know the Spirit’s inward enlightenment, but the darkness of Satan...

The Holy Spirit in African Christianity (Paternoster Biblical & Theological Monographs)
by Chike Chigor
This book is a study of what African Christians living in Britain believe about the Holy Spirit.
The Apostle Paul challenged Christians to live by the Holy Spirit. But how is such a Spirit-orientated life to be envisaged? How might it be defined? In answering these questions, this remarkable book investigates Paul's concept of living by the Spirit. The radical conclusion of the book is that the Spirit-influenced Christian; engaged in a Spirit-endowed Church; aware of a Spirit-ordered world; under the authoritative guidance of a Spirit-inspired Word, lives a Spirit-coordinated life to...
