The Spirit and the Lake of Fire

"In The Spirit and the Lake of Fire, Rustin Umstattd exposes, then fills, a gap in the fields of biblical studies and systematic theology on the work of the Holy Spirit. The author presents four biblical motifs to argue the Holy Spirit is the Father's agent for righteous and loving judgment in the Son. I highly recommend this book."

--Adam Harwood, New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary



"I am grateful to God to see the publication of Dr. Umstattd's The Spirit and the Lake of Fire. It is both biblical and insightful. Reading this book will add fervency to one's life and ministry."

--Jason K. Allen, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary



"The scriptures are clear--God is both Judge and just in his judgment. Yet many are content to only explore concepts of the love of God. Umstattd's work masterfully connects readers to the full work of the Trinity in meting judgment on humanity. This is a much-needed addition to the theological conversations surrounding the role of the Holy Spirit in the Godhead."

--John Mark Yeats, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary
