Pneumatology

I’m happy to be rounding out the year with a project of personal interest: copyediting the second edition of Pneumatology: The Holy Spirit in Ecumenical, International, and Contextual Perspective by Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen.

This year I’ve explored the Spirit through a number of works: Jack Levison’s Inspired, Clark Pinnock’s Flame of Love, and Gordon Fee’s Paul, the Spirit, and the People of God—all of which I need to spend some more time with. Also on my reading list is Anthony Thiselton’s A Shorter Guide to the Holy Spirit, as well as a work on Spirit Christology by Myk Habets titled The Anointed Son: A Trinitarian Spirit Christology. So this topic will be of particular interest to me in 2017 as well.

In reference to yet another book—How to Read a Book by Mortimer J. Adler and Charles Van Doren—this all adds up to an inspiring/inspired exercise in syntopical reading.
