In the Contours of Christian Theology.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The Holy Spirit, once forgotten, has been rediscovered in the twentieth century--or has he? Sinclair Ferguson believes we should rephrase this common assertion: While his <em>work</em> has been recognized, the Spirit <em>himself</em> remains to many Christians an anonymous, faceless aspect of the divine being. In order to redress this balance, Ferguson seeks to recover the <em>who</em> of the Spirit fully as much as the <em>what</em> and <em>how.</em> Ferguson's study is rooted and driven by the scriptural story of the Spirit in creation and redemption. Throughout he shows himself fully at home in the church's historical theology of the Spirit and conversant with the wide variety of contemporary Christians who have explored the doctrine of the Holy Spirit. Foundational issues are surveyed and clarified. Hard questions are explored and answered. Clarity and insight radiate from every page. Here is the mature reflection of a Reformed theologian who will summon respect and charity from those who disagree.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>Ferguson's study is rooted and driven by the scriptural story of the Spirit in creation and redemption.

All the major questios and texts are treated, and the chapter on 'The Cosmic Spirit, ' which deals with universalism, is itself worth the book's price.</p>--James M. Boice, Tenth Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania<br><br><p>This excellent volume takes its place in the Contours of Christian Theology series between <em>The Work of Christ</em> and <em>The Church.</em> It is a very able exposition of the orthodox Reformed understanding of the person and work of the Holy Spirit. The style is attractive without losing accuracy; thus the book is more readable than many theological volumes that tend to be skeletal. The wholehearted commitment to Scripture is manifest through abundant references and crisp exegesis of some difficult passages. One can see here the valuable combination of a mind permeated with revealed truth with a sense of the profound unity in diversity of the various administrations of the covenant of grace. We might note the insights concerning the correlation of the three Persons of the Trinity, the relationship between the Old and New Testament in the unity of the redemptive purpose of God, the connections between the various elements of soteriology, the modern discussions about cessation or continuation of supernatural gifts, not to mention many other topics. [Ferguson] is well informed, lucid in the presentation of his views and in the discussion of alternative positions. More than many other theologians he is serene in his conscious obedience to the teaching of Scripture and therefore generous toward those with whom he differs.</p>--ROGER NICOLE, Reformed Theological Seminary--Orlando<br>
