Hearing the Spirit: Knowing the Father through the Son.

by Christopher Ash

Overview

How does the Spirit relate to the Bible? This book is for those who are ‘thirsty for a deeper experience of the Spirit of God’. This careful biblical argument, drawing mainly from John’s gospel, helps us to see the answers to the difficult questions in a firmly Trinitarian understanding. Hearing the Spirit is the way we know the father through the Spirit. By asking where the Bible fits in this process, this helps us listen more deeply to the words of God.

Editorial Reviews

"This book explores how Jesus continues to make the Father known today. More precisely, it explores the relationship between the past, 'I have made known' and the present and future, 'I will continue to make known'. It is a wonderful and vital subject. The answer is going to focus on the work of God the Holy Spirit and the purpose and function of the Bible. In contemporary jargon, you might say this book was about the sometimes controversial topic of 'Word and Spirit'."

I highly, highly recommend it.
