the holy spirit today
DESCRIPTION
The crisis of impiety and the excessive claims of some to sinless perfection compel attention to the question of the holiness of the Spirit and the holiness of the Spirit's work to perform. With contempt for holiness on the one hand and proud claims to excellence on the other, where is the road that avoids both in favor of authentic piety?TRANSCRIPT

“The Holy Spirit Today is a genuine, qualitative breakthrough in the study of the HolySpirit and a provocative presentation of God’s revelation. Stagg gives a compelling re-evaluation of the biblical teaching about God. His discussion of the Oneness of God, theDeity of Jesus Christ, and God’s presence in his universe is the best treatment of thissubject that I have read. He pursues biblical and theological truth unimpeded by tradi-tional formulations of the past. He makes it clear that God can be known only as theHoly Spirit performs in the seeking heart an act of self-disclosure.”
Ray Frank RobbinsProfessor Emeritus, New Testament and Greek
New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary
“Frank Stagg provides a straightforward exposition of the biblical texts dealing with theHoly Spirit as well as a practical application of their meaning for today. With an under-standing of the Spirit grounded in an awareness of the unity and indivisibility of God,Stagg tackles a full range of issues. As always, his probing analysis both informs andchallenges clergy and laity alike.”
Naymond H. KeathleyProfessor of Religion
Baylor University
“Frank Stagg’s book is short and readable but deals thoroughly with the subject. It isrooted in the scriptures but speaks to today’s needs. It faces honestly the perennial ques-tions about tongues and healing but also relates the Holy Spirit to the contemporaryissues of poverty, war and violence, gender, and health care. It should be required read-ing for every church member.”
