I’ve been using Sinclair Ferguson’s book on the Holy Spirit (IVP, 1996) for several years in my theology class, and each time I review it in preparation for class I’m reminded of what a wonderful book it is. Ferguson is well known as a popular writer on Reformed theology and spirituality, and is a known scholar of Puritanism. What’s remarkable about this book is the rich biblical theology. Ferguson makes use of Gaffin’s NT work and the best of Meredith Kline, and includes many of his own insights. I highly recommend this book.
