description: It is a test of Christian trinitarianism whether it has anything interesting to say about the Spirit. Even the modern trinitarian revival has proceeded as if anything the Spirit could do, the Son could do better. After the Spirit recovers distinctive Spirit-talk from multiple Christian traditions, early and late, east and west. Sources include the Bible, Ephrem the Syrian, the Cappadocians, Aquinas, and Barth. The author develops the thesis that human beings can be moved and drawn to the Spirit's own proper work of celebrating the love between the Father and the Son. The book should be of interest to all who wonder what Christians mean when they speak in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, especially scholars and students of Christian trinitarianism in churches, synagogues, colleges, universities, seminaries, and divinity schools.
