It covers a tremendous amount of ground and does not miss much of importance in reflection on the Holy Spirit in the last two generations. Readers will come away with their appetite whetted for more in-depth study on this topic. Even seasoned theologians would be well-advised to look at Kärkkäinen's text to ensure that they do not overlook important resources for reflection and engagement. Here is evangelical theologizing on pneumatology at its best: ecumenical, engaged, aware, and alert."<br/>--<b>Amos Yong</b>, Fuller Theological Seminary<br/><br/>"Allows for a plurality of pneumatologies to emerge over the course of six chapters. Voices as disparate as African, feminist, Pentecostal, John Zizioulas, and Karl Rahner are heard. . . . The book serves as a valuable contribution to the field and should be considered for any course in its subject matter."<br/>--<b>Dale M. Coulter</b>, <i>Religious Studies Review</i><br/><br/>"Kärkkäinen has authored an excellent survey of contemporary reflection on the theology of the Holy Spirit. His book provides a map of the discipline charted by a seasoned traveler and, as such, will be an asset to students embarking on the study of pneumatology.
