What do the writers of the New Testament say about the work of the Holy Spirit? How can we understand spiritual gifts for today?

Questions regarding the role of the Holy Spirit and spiritual gifts in the life of the believer and the church today continue to be asked, and remain a source of controversy.

In this updated edition of his widely acclaimed book, Professor Max Turner offers a clear scholarly consideration of the Holy Spirit that is rooted in Scripture and relates to aspects of contemporary theology.

Turner carefully explores how three major New Testament writers ? Luke, John and Paul ? took over and developed Old Testament and intertestamental notions of the Spirit. He then investigates the contemporary theological relevance of these biblical teachings.

Max Turner is Professor of New Testament Studies at the London School of Theology.

?The most outstanding pneumatological discussion that has been published since the charismatic movement of the 1960s.?
