Knowing the Holy Spirit Through the Old Testament

De: Christopher JH Wright

Narrado por: Dennis Kleinman

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 discernible 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.

Understanding the Holy Spirit

Everything in the book is new knowledge and appreciation of the Holy Spirit in my life.

An Amazing, Short, Accessible Book

I was using this to listen along with the paper book. The paper book is about 150ish pages long. I learned a lot and enjoyed the reading. I would recommend to anyone who wants to learn more about the Holy Spirit in Scripture (especially the OT)
