The Message of the holy spirit:the spirit of the encounter is a theological book written by Keith Warrington and published by Intervarsity press. He is vice principal and director of doctoral studies for Regents Theological College, Worcestershire, England. He has also authoured many other theological books. This book is part of a series of other theological books that explore biblical topics.
The focus of this book is as the title says the Holy Spirit. The introduction focused on the attributes of the Spirit. It showed the bible using fire and oil as analogy for the Spirit. Warrington then goes through the Old and New testament and shows us the spirits influence throughout the scripture.
This book wanted to show the impact of the Holy Spirit in scripture. Some would believe that he only came down at the time of pentecost. All is needed is to take a deeper study of scripture to see his hand everywhere.
This book provide a Pentecostal and if I can say reformed approach to the view of the Holy Spirit. The book I have to admit was very informal and I learned new things. During the introduction We are introduced to the author constantly …show more content…

There was much focus on the Spirit in the old testament even though there are clear passages that could have been used to show the holy spirit in action. Then we see in Judges that he sees Samson and Gideon as persons we should emulate. Rather I think the book of judges as a show of God’s faithfulness.He also begins to say that we need to make ourselves worthy vessels for the Holy Spirit. Which I think will make think they need to earn the holy spirit Isaiah 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. Thats the point of Jesus Christ we will never be worthy enough no matter how hard we

  • Nouwen's The Wounded Healer

    986 Words  | 4 Pages

    “The Wounded Healer” is a book that I have come back to at least annually since discovering it the year after I finished seminary. I return to it often because it reminds me what it is I must become as well as what the church must become if we are to speak hope and life into the angst of modern life. Nouwen challenges those of us who choose to engage the world through ministry to strike a balance between a “mystical" way of being and a “revolutionary” way. In the mystical mode ministers “find a center from which they can embrace all other beings at once and experience meaningful connections with all that exists” (20). In the revolutionary mode, we see that only “a radical upheaval of the existing order, together with a drastic change of direction”

    1730 Words  | 7 Pages

    PERSPECTIVES ON SPIRIT BAPTISM The Reform position of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is possibly the most commonly held position in the American mid-west. Walter Kaiser is a brilliant theologian but very typical in his assessment of the Holy Spirit’s representation in the New Testament. Kaiser does a masterful job of presenting the theological and chronological exegesis of the Holy Spirit without jumping off the Calvinist cliff. He makes an excellent observation of seeing the Pauline letters as didactic and Lukan letters as narrative, but falls short of full scholarship by asserting that narrative passages could not be doctrinal in scope.

    Sometimes it is easy to take the gift of salvation for granite, which is why we should review how and why it was given to us. The sermon “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,” was so effective because it showed people who they really are. The sermon opened people’s eyes to where they were spiritually, how powerful God truly is, and the things He can do but chooses not to. The sermon described how we are all born sinners and deserve to go to hell.

  • The Gospel Of John Essay

    Only in the gospel of John is the term parakletos written which means, “advocate” or “helping presence”. The reason was noted as teaching on the Holy Spirit in the gospel of John was Jesus knew that His departure from the disciple was coming soon. John identity’s three designations for the Holy Spirit, first, Paraclete, second, the Holy Spirit, and third the Spirit of Truth. The New Covenant Community: What was really interesting that the word church was not used in the gospel of John but was only used twice in all the synoptic gospels and that was in Matthew (16:18; 18:17)? The ecclesiology of John is strictly focused on Jesus as the new Israel.

    They give truth about confidence, revere, salvation, ethics and morals (2 Tim 3:15-16). However scriptural summons can't be connected shortsightedly, on the grounds that some are superseded and some apply just in restricted circumstances. We look for the brightening of the Holy Spirit and ask God to guide our thinking and our utilization of convention and experience so we may see how to apply scriptural standards. The further we go from the expressed purposes of the Bible, the less the Bible says in regards to the subject and the more improbable we are to have a complete explanation about the subject. Articulations about history and science are of exceptional

  • Reflection Of Paul's Pneumatology

    1434 Words  | 6 Pages

    Paul’s pneumatology found in his writings has been a matter of interest in recent New Testament scholarship. Gordon Fee has been a great contributor in this area and in Paul, the Spirit and the People of God he outlines the various elements found in Pauline pneumatology giving us greater insight into this subject. In this paper I will highlight some of these elements that are unique to Paul and are not found in the Synoptic Gospels and Acts. The first distinctive of Pauline pneumatology is the way he sees the Spirit as God’s personal presence. For Paul, the coming of the Spirit meant that God had fulfilled the promises He had made to Jeremiah and Ezekiel when He said, ‘I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel’ (Jer. 31:31), and
