Discover the Spirit's Movement Throughout Scripture

The Holy Spirit is often regarded as the most mysterious and misunderstood person of the Trinity. Though it is important to understand specific topics associated with the Holy Spirit, such as spiritual gifts, our understanding must expand to encompass the Holy Spirit's powerful role throughout the entire canon of Scripture. The Spirit has been at work since the very beginning.

In God's Presence with Us andin Us, biblical scholar Miguel Echevarría explores how the divine personal Spirit has one of the most prominent roles in the Bible. The Holy Spirit is both with God's people and also in them, guiding and bringing about God's mission of new creation. From Genesis to Revelation, the Holy Spirit is at work in God's people and in the world.

What you'll find in God's Presence with Us and in Us:

  • A comprehensive biblical theology of the Holy Spirit that follows the story of the Holy Spirit's work throughout both the Old and New Testaments.
  • An invaluable resource for preaching, teaching, and study of Scripture.
  • Discussion questions and practical insights to foster reflection and application.

This insightful biblical theology offers a comprehensive look at the Holy Spirit's presence, making it an essential resource for pastors, students, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Holy Spirit's work in the world.

About the Series

Essential Studies in Biblical Theology (ESBT), edited by Benjamin L. Gladd and L. Michael Morales, explore the central or essential themes of the Bible's grand storyline. Taking cues from Genesis 1–3, authors trace the presence of these themes throughout the entire sweep of redemptive history. Written for students, church leaders, and laypeople, the ESBT offers an accessible yet rich introduction to biblical theology.

REVIEWS

"Miguel Echevarría has written an accessible and clear biblical theology of the Spirit. His book succinctly traces the empowering and transforming work of the Spirit in the Old and New Testaments, providing for his readers illuminating exegetical and theological insights into the work of the Spirit with and in God's people. The study questions at the end of each chapter make this book a useful tool for pastors, classes on the Spirit in churches, and college and seminary students. Readers will learn as they read this book."Jarvis J. Williams, professor of New Testament interpretation at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
"Miguel Echevarría offers an accessible survey of the presence of the Spirit of God across the entire scriptural canon. How ubiquitous that presence is may surprise readers. The controlling paradigm of this volume is the progressive unfolding from the Old into the New Testament of a final glorious Eden, the cosmic temple of the New Jerusalem described in the book of Revelation that is made up of the redeemed of every nation. There is much to ponder here!"M. Daniel Carroll R., professor emeritus of Old Testament at Wheaton College
"Miguel Echevarría takes us from Genesis to Revelation, underscoring the ubiquitous presence of the Spirit throughout the canon and highlighting the critically important role that the Spirit plays continuously in the biblical story. Regardless of whether or not one agrees with all of Echevarría's applicational conclusions, readers will find this book to be a very helpful, clearly written, insightful, and exceptional biblical theology of the Spirit."J. Daniel Hays, emeritus professor of biblical studies at Ouachita Baptist University and senior professor of Old Testament at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary
