Pneumatology at the Beginning of the Third Millennium

“Australian Catholic theology is alive and well. With an exhilarating array of essays, this book on pneumatology takes us from its scriptural foundations, via patristic and medieval developments, to a variety of thematic and contemporary pneumatological issues. Wagner, McGregor, and Naumann’s faithful editorial yeoman’s work is a gift from the Spirit, with this fourth volume contributing yet again to the status of the Theology at the Beginning of the Third Millennium series as the go-to Fundgrube of twenty-first-century dogmatics.”


—Hans Boersma, chair in ascetical theology, Nashotah House Theological Seminary





“As a splendid complement to Third Article Theology, this book covers the broad range of pneumatological thinking while beautifully featuring the core importance of the inseparability of Christology and pneumatology. This inspired collection reaches from the Trinitarian processions all the way to practical pastoral applications. Well-grounded in patristic reflection, together with the latest in contemporary theology, the contributions in this volume showcase a rich vein of English–language Catholic theological thought. Strongly recommended!”


—Simon Wayte, academic dean, Catholic Theological College, University of Divinity





“There is today, quite rightly, a lot of talk about the Holy Spirit in the Church. However, this talk is often without a lot of substance and tends to lead to a dichotomy between a ‘Spirit-led’ Church and the Institutional Church. This superb and eclectic collection is an excellent resource to help avoid this dichotomy and renew pneumatology for the twenty-first century. Very highly recommended.”
