Good teaching on the Holy Spirit has been available for many years, but perhaps it has been too formidable for many, and so he is very poorly understood across the church. A book that covers the main things briefly and biblically will be a valuable asset.
That is what we have here: framed in good language for the average churchgoer, and far from daunting — the main section is only 76 pages. The Appendix (17 pages) provides annotated quotations from John Calvin’s writings on the Holy Spirit. Rice makes no claim to offer anything ‘new’, but he gives a succinct and faithful account of the doctrines taught by such as Calvin and Owen, in ten chapters from ‘The Person’ of the Holy Spirit, to the Spirit as ‘The Lord God’, ‘The Author’, through to ‘The Guarantee’.
