Pastor of a non-denominational church in southern California, Beck says that the doctrine of the Holy Spirit has swung back and forth between an institutional tendency and an experiential tendency in Protestantism since the Reformation. Both make significant contributions to the ongoing understanding of the person and work of the Holy Spirit, he says, but also come with unwanted baggage. Rather than try to rehabilitate one or the other, he proposes Christian eschatology as a third option that comes not from the Protestant tradition but from the original language of pneumatology.

Book News Inc, Reference - Research Book News - October 2011 This is a very stimulating treatment of the relationship between eschatology and pneumatology and readers will find it a useful, insightful introduction to Moltmann in particular.
