<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>We first meet the Holy Spirit in the second verse of the Bible, hovering there, speaking the world into existence. Christopher Wright begins here and traces the Holy Spirit through the pages of the Old Testament. He shows that the Spirit is knowable, and that the Spirit empowers God's people and sustains the earth.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>We tend to think of the Holy Spirit as the straggler of the Trinity, a latecomer in God's interaction with the world. But our first introduction to the Holy Spirit is not the drama of Pentecost in the second chapter of Acts. We first meet the Holy Spirit in the second verse of the Bible, hovering there, speaking the world into existence. Christopher Wright begins here and traces the Holy Spirit through the pages of the Old Testament. We see the Third Person of the Trinity in the decrees of prophets and psalmists, in the actions of judges and craftspeople, in the anointing of kings and the promise of a new creation. Knowable and discernable in the Old Testament, the Holy Spirit is thus eminently knowable to us. The witness of the whole of Scripture, from its first pages to its last, directs us to a Holy Spirit empowering the people of God, and sustaining and renewing the face of the earth.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Immensely enjoyable to read, and it is accessible to anyone who is literate in the teachings of the Bible. Wright has clearly done his homework. Highly recommended.</p>--Reformation 21 (online), September 2007<br><br><p>This little volume does a great service in making the Third Person of the Trinity more known and glorious to our hearts and minds.</p>--Kent I. Compton, Haddington House Journal, 2008<br><br><p>Wright helps us reflect more deeply upon the work of the Holy Spirit from a <em>biblical</em> perspective and, thereby, encourages us to be more fully people of the Spirit.'</p>--Kevin L. Spawn, Pneuma, Issue 30<br>
