This book provides a series of previously untranslated articles and presentations from the eminent Dominican theologian Yves Congar. The book contains some of his shorter, post-Vatican II writings on the Holy Spirit. They are from introductions, theological encyclopedias, and conferences. In light of the material in this book, this material is helpful for a those who are new to Congar's writing or to the study of Pneumatology.

This conclusion is supported by the writings of both the Protestant and Orthodox traditions and engaging with their thought. This book highlights the ideas of an important twentieth century theologian and while grounded in the concerns of the post-conciliar church, this book highlights how these issues are still relevant.

This book is recommended for college and seminary libraries.… (more)

This is an excellent theological book on the Holy Spirit. It is contemporary - even if more than a decade passed, challenging, refreshing, spiritual, theological and above all, inspirational. Whoever, wants to know in depth the Holy Spirit, this is the book to contemplate on.
