Anointed with the Spirit and Power: The Holy Spirit's Empowering Presence
Under the trusty captaincy of Professor Robert Peterson, a crew of seasoned Reformed sailors has set out to encompass a new Treasure Island - an up-to-the-minute, mid-range, pastorally focused collection of Explorations in "Biblical Theology, covering the main themes of the Reformed faith and the main biblical books that set them forth. These are books to look out for, and to collect as they see the light of day. It is already clear that they will demonstrate afresh the truth, life, light, and power that the old Reformed faith can still bring to a befuddled and benighted world." --J. I. Packer"This latest volume in the promising Explorations in Biblical Theology series should prove useful to pastors, students, and reflective Christians. John Harvey guides us through the pivotal biblical texts related to the Holy Spirit's empowering work, especially noting the Spirit's empowerment of Old Testament leaders and prophets, the person and ministry of Jesus, and the early church. This book is well organized, clear, fair, and helpful." --Christopher W. Morgan"A first-class work that combines perceptive analyses, balanced insights, and helpful applications. Dr. Harvey is a first-class scholar, whose writing is crisp, direct, and engaging. His theology is thoroughly orthodox, and his insights, while expressed easily in common language, are profound. This is a small book on a big and explosive topic that is highly recommended for every Christian's study and personal growth." --Richard N. Longenecker
