'Thomas Hughson's book 'The Holy Spirit and the Church' offers valuable and fresh ecclesiological reflections on the Church from an ecumenical viewpoint. The chosen emphasis on the Holy Spirit is helpful in orienting towards new possibilities for a Christian future beyond divisions. Contributions to this book reflect a diversity of theological approaches. The authors are not afraid to raise critical questions but the questions are offered as positive correctives, which reflect deep commitment to the Christian community. The presentation of the topics is both scholarly and pastoral in its approach, which makes this book useful reading for various audiences.' Minna Hietamaki, University of Helsinki, Finland
