Books and Resources on the Holy Spirit
June 14, 2010 9 Comments
I am going to be writing some small group curriculum on the Holy Spirit. What resources have you found helpful in your studies? I am looking at the following:
The Bible!
Forgotten God: Reversing our Tragic Neglect of the Holy Spirit by Francis Chan
Living in the Power of the Holy Spirit by Charles Stanley
The Shadow of the Almighty: Father, Son, and Spirit in Biblical Perspective by Ben Witherington
Theology for the Community of God by Stanley Grenz
Anything else you would add to the list?
Knowing The Holy Spirit Through the Old Testament by Christopher JH Wright
ordered…can’t go Wrong with the OT or NT Wright!
A Spirit for the Rest of Us by Tim Woodroof
Mission and Medium of the Holy Spirit by Foy Wallace Jr.
A Study of the Holy Spirit of God by Richard Rogers. I have not seen his book, but I studied under him when I was at Sunset in the mid-1960’s. I recommend him heartily.
I’m sure you have been following Jay Guin’s study of the Holy Spirit through the Bible. He’s had some pretty good stuff too.
Of course, I recommend my own 8 blogs on Baptism in the Holy Spirit.
Jerry Starling
Frederick Dale Bruner, A Theology of the Holy Spirit
Carl Ketcherside’s Heaven Help Us is worth a look:

Two books that primarily come from a response to charismatics perspective, but are both excellent volumes are The New Covenant Ministry of the Holy Spirit by Pettigrew, and The Work of the Holy Spirit in Redemption by Franklin Camp. For a good general study of the subject, The Holy Spirit by H. Leo Boles is excellent.
John,
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. I will see if I have those two here in the library. I am sure the third one is.
