Why Do You Believe What You Believe About the Holy Spirit?

"Most of us know what we believe, But few take the (theo)logical step back to ask why. McFarlane has an uncanny knack-I would say a rare gift-of taking the complexities of a contentious subject and making them available to 'lay' readers as well as students of theology."

-Brian Draper, Managing Editor of Third Way



"McFarlane invites us to discover what we believe about the Holy Spirit by reconnecting us to the historical traditions of trinitarian theology. Yet what emerges from this book is neither antiquarian nor safe, but altogether contemporary and shocking."

-Andrew Walker, King's College



"This excellent and beautifully written book . . . is an essential read for all those concerned to understand the Spirit of god and discern his presence and activity."

-Graham Cray, Principal of Ridley Hall, Cambridge
