Synopsis

In his trailblazing studies of the spirit in Jewish and Christian antiquity, John R. (Jack) Levison shatters theological taxonomies: Is the spirit directed to creation or salvation, or both? Should the spirit be understood as breath or Spirit, or both? Is the spirit a force or an angel, or both? Does the spirit inspire ecstasy or wisdom, or both? When Levison transfers the starting point of pneumatology from the New Testament to the Hebrew Bible, from Christianity to Judaism, he challenges the very foundations of Christian pneumatology. Now, for the first time, selections of his breathtaking array of studies are available in three accessible volumes. In this volume, Levison details the implications that will shape the future of pneumatology. His interactions with theologians from Karl Barth to Jürgen Moltmann and Karl Rahner, as well as with biblical scholars from Hermann Gunkel to N. T. Wright, render this a referendum on the current scope and significance of pneumatology. Readers of this volume will grasp why Reading Religion: A Publication of the American Academy of Religion forecasts that “Levison will continue to be at the center of our most fruitful discussions of pneumatology.”
