The Holy Spirit: Setting the World on Fire
The Holy Spirit: Setting the World on Fire
Project Summary
The book brings together the contributions of 17 members of the STM faculty to present contemporary understandings of the Holy Spirit in the life of the church. The contributions range from scripture studies and history to liturgical and pastoral studies, as well as a number of explicit treatments from systematic theology and Christian spirituality. As with the STM's earlier project on "Hope," the authors of this volume worked together to coordinate their chapter and to develop the book as an integrated whole.
Purpose
There is a need for a contemporary approach to the Holy Spirit that treats both the breadth and depth of the theme for the life of the church. This project aims to meet that need.
Primary Audience
As with the Hope book, this project sought to reach both "everyday" Catholics as well as pastors and other leaders in the ecclesial community.
Key Questions
How do we understand the Holy Spirit and the role the Spirit plays in everyday faith?
Differentials
The uniqueness of this book comes from both its breadth of vision and the multi-disciplinary approach of the authors.
