Bernard J. Cooke, Bernard Cook

Power and the Spirit of God

Toward an Experience-Based Pneumatology

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In this book the distinguished Roman Catholic theologian Bernard Cooke reassesses the long-standing Christian description of divine power. The word "power" evokes the spheres of economic, political, and social life. Cooke suggests, however, that the deepest questions about conflicting powers are theological and concern what Christians have traditionally referred to as "the Holy Spirit" and "salvation."
