Synopsis

In what may be regarded as his magnum opus, Clark Pinnock explores the vital Christian doctrine of the Holy Spirit.

Writing out of wide learning and deep personal passion, he points the way to restoring the oft-neglected Spirit to centrality in the life and witness of the church. Pinnock's book is both catholic—respecting the beliefs and worship of the historic church—and evangelical—drawing particularly on the heritage of the Reformation. Always in sight is the mission of the church, because "people want to meet the real and living God and will not be satisfied with a religion that only preaches and moralizes."

For this second edition, theologian Daniel Castelo draws from his experience using Flame of Love in the classroom to add notes with helpful commentary and brief reflections on each chapter's main themes and contributions. In doing so, the book becomes even more accessible to contemporary audiences.

Goodreads review by Ryan

Pneumatology, as many theologians and scholars would agree, is best discussed in a dialogical sense, with many denominations, voices, and perspectives all contributing with their respective experiences, exegeses, and traditions. Clark H. Pinnock’s text is no different. Pinnock draws on his own Evang......more

Goodreads review by Emmanuel

A rich theology of the Holy Spirit in accessible language. As a Baptist mediating theologian, he does a good job of developing theological concepts in a way that is both challenging and edifying. Examples of this are seen in the following quotes: "But *person* when seen in the context of the Trinity......more

Goodreads review by Adam

Summary: A helpful, constructive theology of the Holy Spirit written from an Evangelical perspective.  I first ran across Flame of Love when Christian Century asked several theologians and biblical scholars for their lists of the Essential books of Theology of the last 25 years (in 2010). I compiled......more
