414 p. : illus. ; pbk ; 24 cm. 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. 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. edited by David G. Firth and Paul D. Wegner. Includes bibliographical references and indexes.
