"This work is indispensable."
In this contemporary classic, renowned scholar Gordon Fee explores the Spirit's significant role in Pauline life and thought. This edition includes reflection questions and a foreword by Dean Pinter.
"Fee's earlier scholarly tome on Paul's theology of the Holy Spirit is without dispute the most thorough work on the subject ever yet produced. The fruit of that detailed labor is made accessible to a wider range of readers in his Paul, the Spirit, and the People of God. For anyone interested in this major Pauline theme, and in the work of the Spirit, this work is indispensable. It helps us reframe in more biblical terms our thinking about the central role of the Spirit."
--Craig S. Keener, Asbury Theological Seminary; author of Gift and Giver: The Holy Spirit for Today
"The past decades have demonstrated an ongoing interest in topics such as Paul's relationship to the Jewish law and how Paul's view of Christian ethics affects Christian life today. In Paul, the Spirit, and the People of God, Fee insists that the Spirit is the key to answering such questions, as the experience of the Spirit's presence was the best Jewish evidence available for Paul's argument that God's future (the kingdom of God) is available to God's people in the present. If you long to see more of the Holy Spirit in the pages of Scripture as well as in your own life, this book is for you."
--Holly Beers, Westmont College
"Fee, truly one of our master exegetes, has put steel and sinew into the words Spirit, spirit, and spiritual. His accurate, fresh, and passionate recovery of the place and meaning of Spirit in Paul and for us Christians is a provocative stimulus and reliable guide to the recovery of the experienced presence of God in our lives."
