The era of the Spirit,

This book is one theologian's attempt to describe the extraordinary moving of the Holy Spirit in the Church today, to appraise some theological implications of this movement, and to demonstrate how recent theology serves as preparation and background. In the first part of the book the author writes as one personally involve din this renewal. The second part explores the relevant thought of such modern theologians as Karl Barth, Emil Brunner, Paul Tillich, and Rudolf Bultmann. Much of their writings on the work of the Holy Spirit foreshadowed what is taking place today. Particular attention is paid to their understanding of the Spirit's outpouring, the gifts or manifestations of the Spirit, and the Spirit in relation to the community of faith.
