Inspired : The Holy Spirit And The Mind Of Faith
$28.99Add to cartEarly Jews and Christians understood the Holy Spirit in a very different way than most Christians understand it today. They understood the spirit of God as something given to all flesh as part of creation — a spirit no less divine or holy than the spirit one might receive through charismatic endowments.

Levison sums up historical and biblical arguments and discusses implications for the church today. “The gift of the spirit is not a moment’s work,” Levison says. “The gift of the spirit is steady and continuous — something worth knowing in the struggles that have the potential to shatter life into meaningless shards.”
