Showing results for "Spirits" in Bible Study

After Fee published his magisterial God's Empowering Presence, he was asked to write a more accessible volume that would articulate Paul's priorities for experiencing the life of the Spirit in the church. Fee's bestselling introduction to Paul and the Spirit, Paul, the Spirit, and the People of God, went on to sell over 70,000 copies. This book by one of the greatest evangelical and Pentecostal New Testament interpreters of our time argues that the presence of the Spirit is, for Paul and for us, the crucial matter for the Christian life.

God wants us to live in the fullness of His Holy Spirit. Yet we can only truly come to understand who the Holy Spirit is and how He works by learning what God says about Him in His Word. We often put the cart before the horse, trying to experience the Spirit without really understanding Him. But when we do this, how do we really know who—or what—we are experiencing?

Popular author Jack Levison offers a fresh take on the Holy Spirit through a careful reading of every reference to the Spirit in the Gospels.

Christliches Leben ist ein ständiges Mit- und Gegeneinander von Glaube und Unglaube. Wie Licht und Schatten scheinen sie unweigerlich verbunden. Sebastian Rink will wissen, was es mit einem solchen Glauben auf sich hat, der den Unglauben als das eigene Gegenteil in sich trägt und akzeptiert - ihn vielleicht sogar für sich zu "nutzen" und ihn zu heiligen weiß. Dabei geht er der Frage nach, was der Unglaube mit dem Glauben zu tun hat und ergründet, warum er - entgegen gängiger Vorstellungen - sogar einen wertvollen Teil religiöser Existenz ausmacht.
