Listening to the Spirit in the Text

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Book
Review: Dr. Gordon Fee did an excellent job with this book. It is actually a compilation of previous papers and speeches into one book, although this in no way hinders the quality of the book. This theologically sound and scripturally grounded book is more than just theology. His underlying concern is obviously for spiritual growth, making this spiritually and intellectually challenging at the same time. He presents many ideas that are not 'new' but are often skimmed over in the Bible. It is a must read for those with questions about women in the ministry, or the role of the Holy Spirit in the Church. I recommend this book 100%.

Summary: Reflections on the art of attending to the biblical text
Review: In Listening To The Spirit In The Text, Gordon Fee (professor of New Testament studies at Regent College, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada) has gathered together his best studies and reflections on the art of attending to the biblical text critically, yet with spiritual sensitivity. Ranging over a host of relevant New Testament themes, these insightful essays shed light on the meaning of Scripture for the spiritual life of the church. Fee's twelve engaging and informative essays are divided into two sections: The Text and the Life in the Spirit and The Text and the Life of the Church. Listening To The Spirit In The Text is enthusiastically recommended contribution to personal and academic New Testament studies reading lists and library collections.
