Overview
Life in the Spirit! Experiencing the Fullness of Christ is a biblical theology of the Holy Spirit. It explores Scripture's teaching on His person and work while following the path by which a new believer comes to know Him. Foundational truths lead step by step into Christian growth, service, and more difficult questions of doctrine.
Paul J. Bucknell examines how the Spirit gives new life, strengthens and equips believers, and draws them toward the fullness of Christ. He addresses differing views with the hope of helping Christians understand one another, explain their biblical convictions, and serve together.
Questions at the end of each chapter invite readers to engage with the teaching personally or in a group. Diagrams and illustrations support the study. The paperback is 339 pages; the digital edition is described as 338 pages.
