Listening to the Spirit in the Text

the long version

For many years Gordon Fee, one of today's foremost evangelical scholars, has been asked to bring his trusted biblical expertise together with his well-known passion for the gospel and the church to address a range of pertinent issues. Listening to the Spirit in the Text is his answer. Gathered here are twelve of Fee's most insightful studies, each of which demonstrates the art of attending to the biblical text critically yet with a deep spiritual sensitivity. Exploring the crucial relationship between scripture, spirituality, and church life, these chapters cover a wide range of relevant topics: how to be a "trinitarian Christian," the New Testament's view of wealth and possessions, gender issues, worship, tongues speaking, the church's global mission, and much more. - Back cover.
