From the publisher
The Holy Spirit is often regarded as the most mysterious and misunderstood person of the Trinity. But our understanding must expand beyond specific topics like spiritual gifts to encompass the Spirit's powerful role throughout the entire canon of Scripture. The Spirit has been at work since the very beginning.
In God's Presence with Us and in Us, biblical scholar Miguel Echevarría traces how the divine personal Spirit is both with God's people and in them, guiding and bringing about God's mission of new creation. From Genesis to Revelation, this comprehensive biblical theology follows the Spirit's work — an invaluable resource for preaching, teaching, and study, with discussion questions in each chapter. Part of the Essential Studies in Biblical Theology series.
