Synopsis

'We believe in ... the Holy Spirit, the Lord and the Life-giver' (The Apostles' Creed).

The global spread of Pentecostal Christianity, often in contexts of urban poverty, has attracted much attention. The movement highlights a hunger for the experience of God in our world and provides millions of poor believers with hope for social transformation. Yet spiritual experience needs a fully biblical understanding of the Holy Spirit with which its claims can be properly assessed.

Ivan Satyavrata provides an introduction to the Bible's teaching on vital issues and questions, many of which have been, and continue to be, a source of confusion and controversy amongst Christians. Combining scholarly enquiry with accessibility, his deep theological reflections and passion for unity will contribute to constructive dialogue and appeal to a wide readership.
