This book is based on lectures given at the Oak Hill Annual School of Theology. As a result, the style is readable although scholarly. This book is not a systematic overview of the person and work of the Spirit, rather it is an attempt to answer six key questions. In doing so, of course, much of the person and the work of the Spirit is covered, but the focus is on the questions at hand rather than a more comprehensive work.
The questions include: blasphemy against the Spirit, how the Spirit is resisted, how we may quench the Spirit and grieve the Spirit and how the Spirit fills us. These are not only perennial questions asked about the Holy Spirit but are also crucial in understanding the work of the Spirit in our lives.
