REVIEWS
Roger E. Olson
— Baylor University
"The Holy Spirit is an excellent addition to the Guides to Theology series and will be an enormous help to students and others interested in historical theology. Shults and Hollingsworth make the doctrine of the Holy Spirit come alive through their recounting of its development and contemporary interpretations. Even more, they point readers to the person of the Holy Spirit as a living presence and not just a concept in intellectual history."

"This Guides to Theology volume on the Holy Spirit will not disappoint either teachers (at both undergraduate and graduate levels) or students. The authors superbly introduce their topic by surveying the history of Christian theology and the contemporary scene, deftly identify salient philosophical and spiritual-experiential issues regarding the Holy Spirit, and provide an informative annotated bibliography of relevant sources — all in only 150 pages!
