The Holy Spirit in the World Today
Café Theology exploring love, the universe and everything
Edited by Jane Williams
Michael Lloyd
THIRD EDITION NOW WITH STUDY GUIDE This book is a collection of twelve papers delivered at a major conference on the Holy Spirit and includes contributions from Jürgen Moltmann, Miroslav Volf, David Ford and Rowan Williams.
In Café Theology, Michael invites us to grab a cappuccino and get to grips with the basics of
of humour. Guaranteed to both take you deeper into your faith and make you laugh, all at the same time.
Contents Foreword to the First Edition Foreword to the Third Edition 1. Creation 2. Fall 3. Providence
‘Come Holy Spirit’: What do we hope for when we pray this most ancient of prayers? In a world of conflict, fragmentation and crisis, what expectations does this prayer carry? In this insightful new work, Graham Tomlin suggests that the activity of the Holy Spirit is the key to a transforming knowledge of God, a radically engaged church and the hope for the future of a fragile and anxious world. Graham Tomlin combines biblical depth, accessible theology and rich experience within one of the world’s most dynamic churches — he also ‘flies’ imaginatively, intellectually and in his engagement with urgent personal and public issues. This wise book inspires, nurtures and stretches its readers. David F Ford, Regius Professor of Divinity, University of Cambridge
Masterfully portraying the role and activity of the Spirit in contemporary society, The Prodigal Spirit is a fresh and profound new theological perspective that offers hopeful insights to the church as it strives to be relevant in an increasingly complex world. Robert (Bob) Lupton, Founder FCS Urban Ministries, Atlanta, Georgia, USA
Graham Tomlin is one of the most gifted theological teachers and communicators in today’s church. He has that rare gift of being able to express complex theological ideas in ways that are accessible and applicable, and so deepen our discipleship. Readers will discover that The Prodigal Spirit is a book of considerable spiritual discernment, counsel and vision. Revd Canon Professor Martyn Percy, Principal, Ripon College, Cuddesdon
Simultaneously learned, imaginative, accessible and long overdue. Bishop Graham Cray, Archbishop’s Missioner
4. Incarnation
The Revd Dr Graham Tomlin is Dean of St Mellitus College and Principal of St Paul’s Theological Centre, which is based in Holy Trinity Brompton in London. He is the author of numerous articles and books.
The Prodigal Spirit: The Trinity, the Church and the Future of the World What is the purpose of human life?
Does the Christian message have anything to say to a
society marked by religious pluralism, ethnic diversity and cultural relativism?
Is it possible even to talk about truth in such a society? Is Christianity a valid option for the 21st century?
The ProdiGal SPiriT The Trinity, the Church and the Future of the World
With a new introduction by leading Newbigin scholar, Paul Weston, this book brings together two of Newbigin’s classic works: Discovering Truth in a Changing World and Living Hope in a Changing World. Together, they present the Christian story as a lens through which to view and understand God and the world, demonstrating that Christianity is a viable way to live one’s life today, and that Christians need not retreat to a private world where faith is presumed to be ‘mere opinion’.
With his unerring focus on placing the Christian faith squarely at the centre of public life and contemporary debate, Newbigin opens up the great themes of philosophy and scientific thought and critiques them in the light of Scripture to present the gospel as a public truth by which our society can find coherence and direction.
Lesslie Newbigin (1909–98) was a missionary statesman, theologian, pastor, author
and limerick writer. He volunteered for missionary service in India with the Church of
Graham Tomlin
Scotland, and went on to become a bishop in Madurai and Ramnad with the Church of South India, Assistant General Secretary of the World Council of Churches and Bishop of Madras. After his retirement, he taught theology at Selly Oak Colleges, Birmingham and was elected moderator of the United Reformed Church. His teaching at HTB’s School of Theology between 1994 and 1995 forms the basis of this book.

About the Author Michael Lloyd is Chaplain at Queen’s College, Oxford, a lecturer at St Mellitus College, and a regular voice on the GodPod. He wrote his doctoral thesis on the problem of evil, which is [hopefully] why his students call him Dr Evil. He is married to Abigail – hence his unbearable smugness.

The weekend healed me of a nine-year addiction to drugs.’ ‘It’s an amazing thought knowing that God loves me despite all my sins and that I am forgiven ...’ ‘Before this I was a Muslim, and this has helped me find faith and peace in Jesus Christ.’ ‘I felt a change in myself and I know that God is working in my life.’ ‘For the first time in my life I feel happy. Looking forward to the rest of my life with Jesus.’ ‘After the Alpha weekend
‘What distinguishes Alpha from other initiatives is the easy-going, relaxed feel of the proceedings – that, and its astonishing success.’ The Times ‘Alpha is an unqualified triumph.’ The Daily Telegraph
‘Millions of people consider the claims of Jesus Christ in fresh and stimulating ways through Alpha.’ Bill Hybels, Senior Pastor, Willow Creek Community Church ‘Alpha is a new way of announcing the Gospel.’ Archbishop Rino Fisichella, President of the Pontifical Council for the New Evangelisation
I have felt a great sense of calm and peace and am more trusting of God and his plan for me.’
