“Frank Stagg’s book is short and readable but deals thoroughly with the subject. It is rooted in the scriptures but speaks to today’s needs. It faces honestly the perennial questions about tongues and healing but also relates the Holy Spirit to the contemporary issues of poverty, war and violence, gender, and health care. It should be required reading for every church member.” Kenneth Chafin Writer/Speaker Former Pastor/Professor

THE HOLY SPIRIT TODAY
“Frank Stagg provides a straightforward exposition of the biblical texts dealing with the Holy Spirit as well as a practical application of their meaning for today. With an understanding of the Spirit grounded in an awareness of the unity and indivisibility of God, Stagg tackles a full range of issues. As always, his probing analysis both informs and challenges clergy and laity alike.” Naymond H. Keathley Professor of Religion Baylor University
STAGG
“The Holy Spirit Today is a genuine, qualitative breakthrough in the study of the Holy Spirit and a provocative presentation of God’s revelation. Stagg gives a compelling reevaluation of the biblical teaching about God. His discussion of the Oneness of God, the Deity of Jesus Christ, and God’s presence in his universe is the best treatment of this subject that I have read. He pursues biblical and theological truth unimpeded by traditional formulations of the past. He makes it clear that God can be known only as the Holy Spirit performs in the seeking heart an act of self-disclosure.” Ray Frank Robbins Professor Emeritus, New Testament and Greek New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary
