Nottingham, UK : Apollos, 2011. 414 p. : illus. ; pbk ; 24 cm. Includes bibliographical references and indexes. Orientation to the Spirit in the Old Testament and the ancient near east -- The Spirit and creating -- The Spirit and wisdom -- The Spirit and creativity -- The Spirit and prophecy -- The Spirit and leadership -- The Spirit and the future -- The Spirit at Qumran. From the first verses of Genesis, the Spirit of God makes a dramatic appearance in the Bible. However, despite the importance of the Spirit in the Old Testament, it has been the focus of surprisingly little scholarship. In response, this volume assembles a host of premier Old Testament scholars to address various aspects of the subject. Major thematic essays and studies of relevant biblical texts are arranged in eight main sections: orientation of the Ancient Near Eastern context; the Spirit and its relation to creation, wisdom, creativity, prophecy, leadership and the future, and finally the Spirit at Qumran.
