Download or read book The Spirit and the Screen written by Chris E. W. Green and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2023-05-15 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spirit and the Screen engages contemporary films from the perspective of pneumatology to give theologies of culture fruitful new perspectives that begin with the Spirit rather than other common theological contact points (Christology, anthropology, theological ethics, creation, eschatology, etc.). This book explores pertinent pneumatological issues that arise in film, as well as literary devices that draw allusions to the Spirit. It offers three main contributions: first, it explores how Christian understandings of the person and work of the Spirit illuminate the nature of film and film-making; second, it shows that there are in fact “Spirit figures” in film (as distinct from but inseparable from Christ-figures), even if sometimes they’re not intended as such, “Spirit-led” characters, are moved to act “prophetically,” against their inclinations and in excess of their skill or knowledge and with eccentric, life-giving creativity; third, it identifies subtle and explicit symbolizations of the Spirit in pop culture, symbolizations that requires deep, careful thinking about the Christian doctrine of the Spirit and generate new horizons for cultural analysis. The contributors of this book explore these issues, asking how Christian convictions and experiences of the Spirit might shape the way one thinks about films and film-making.

Though countless Christians through the ages have confessed “I believe in the Holy Spirit,” the Spirit has often remained an elusive figure, relegated to the fringes of many Christians’ faith.

In this second edition of his widely popular book, Michael Green explains the biblically rooted doctrine of the Holy Spirit.

Enriched by Green’s extensive pastoral and personal experience, I Believe in the Holy Spirit remains one of the most readable and balanced books on the third person of the Trinity.
Download or read book The Message of the Holy Spirit written by Keith Warrington and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the teaching of the Bible and church tradition, it seems that many Christians can still lack an appreciation of God the Holy Spirit. He has sometimes been valued more for the gifts he bestows than for who he is; or he has been viewed simply as the 'third person of the Godhead'. However, Keith Warrington's conviction is that the Holy Spirit is more important, more central, more immanently involved in his creation, the church, and individual believers, more often and more strategically, than many Christians realise. When Jesus left his disciples and went to heaven, he gave the best gift he could - the Holy Spirit - knowing that he will be our dynamic guide and partner as we seek to live as God's people. In this practical, biblically based exploration of the Spirit, Warrington encourages believers to recognize that the same Spirit seeks to encounter us and desires that we encounter him.

Download or read book The Holy Spirit written by Jerry Cook and published by . This book was released on 2013-04 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Short Description (2,000 characters, including spaces)Dr. Jerry Cook spent fifty years as a pastor, teaching and writing about the presence of the Holy Spirit and of Christ in everyday life-including speaking in tongues. But in a conversation with a young pastor he realized the need to explain this topic in a practical, accessible way for those who may have only been exposed to it through "shocking" manifestations of fanaticism. In this conversation, the young pastor wondered what the "big deal" was, and when Cook got over his anger at this dismissive assessment, he tackled the concept head-on. Cook first asserts that "It is possible to be a sane, intellectually honest, biblical, and dynamic Christian who is filled with the Holy Spirit, speaks in tongues, and effectually ministers the full life of Christ." He does not shy away from his own doubts and struggles in the church and his personal faith, striving not to create an academic, theoretical work but to ask the right questions and provide genuine, compassionate advice.Here, find practical, Biblical answers to the questions of the young pastor and of other Christians who have struggled with this concept. Examine six significant events, from the in-breaking of God through the birth, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus, ending with the day of Pentecost. Follow the radical relocation of God from "out there" to "with us" to "in us," and visualize the remarkable implications of this radical move to the Christian's everyday life. Examine the church and the manifestation of Christ in its structure, power, and gathering.Do not wonder what Jesus would do, but ask the radical question of who he would be. What does a practical, post-modern Spirit-filled Christian look like? How is Jesus made visible in everyday living, and why is it important? Who is the church, really? In accessible terms, Cook explains that we are not just to do what Jesus would do, but rather to be who Jesus would be. In this way, we can bring visibility to His presence and access to His life and hope.

Download or read book In Step with the Spirit written by Margy Hill and published by . This book was released on 2013-01-09 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Book of Galatians, Paul challenges us to "keep in step" with the Spirit. To communicate this biblical truth, he uses an interesting word in the Greek - stoicheo.This word references a military command to form a straight line or to march in ordered rows and can also be applied to a group of dancers. African stepping which is popular today finds its origins in a combination of military close order formations and exhibition drills.Soldiers drill for hours and learn to obey both visual and spoken commands. Drill instructors teach them to march and move in a way that is completely unfamiliar. Not only do they learn to keep in step individually, but they learn to function as a unit.And so it is in the Christian life. When we receive Christ, the Holy Spirit indwells us and He sets the line and pace for us to follow. At first the Spirit-filled life is foreign to us so we must learn how to be led by the Spirit; how to "keep in step" with Him. We must learn how to be sensitive to His voice, listen for His commands, heed His warnings andfollow closely after Him.More importantly, being in step with the Spirit is not only crucial to the individual life of the believer, but Paul makes it clear to you and to me that to truly keep in step with the Spirit, we must also be in step with our brothers and sisters in Christ. In battle, the soldier that broke rank, not only endangered himself, he endangered all of his fellowsoldiers. So too are we a danger to the church when we are "out of step" with the Bodyof Christ. This study is designed to encourage, equip and empower you to "keep in step" with theSpirit. Whether you are a new or seasoned believer in Christ, the truths of God's Word are sure to meet you right where you are at. We all need more of the Spirit in our lives and whether these truths come as new and fresh or glorious reminders, our spiritual life will benefit tremendously as we seek to follow hard after the Spirit and the abundant life that is promised to every believer. Now it's time to "take a step" to "keep in step"!
