Flame of Love: A Theology of the Holy Spirit

Clark H. Pinnock

4/5 ( ratings)

Christianity Today Book of the Year

In what may be regarded as his magnum opus, Clark Pinnock here turns attention to the vital Christian doctrine of the Holy Spirit. Writing out of wide learning and deep personal passion, he shows us the way to restore the oft-neglected Spirit to centrality in the life and witness of the church.

Pinnock explores the doctrine of the Spirit in relation to other key doctrines such as the Trinity, creation, Christology and the church. Never one to duck the difficult or sensitive questions, he also examines issues of the Spirit's universality, gender language for the Spirit, and charismatic gifts.

Pinnock intends his book to be catholic and evangelical . Always in sight is the mission of the church, for people want to meet the real and living God and will not be satisfied with a religion that only preaches and moralizes. He concludes, Only by attending to the Spirit can we move beyond sterile rationalist religion in the direction of recovering the sense of intimacy and immediacy for which our generation--and every generation--longs.
