A comprehensive study of the theology of the German theologian Klaus Bockmuehl and his understanding of the role of the Holy Spirit in Christian ethical life.
Precocious and sometimes marginalized Klaus Bockmuehl's insights regarding the Spirit's agency in Christian Ethics, and therefore in our daily Christian experiences, have renewed import, now. This is an exceptional book, it introduces us for the first time to a much-neglected thinker. It also equips us with an understanding of how the Church can live ethically in power, through its relationship with the Father. In both respects it has much to offer its reader and the wider contemporary church.

Annette Glaw's book is an expression of considerable devotion to a theologian who has clearly been significant in her own journey. Ultimately, it points beyond his work to a deeper, more contemplative perspective on the sources of Christian moral life in the transformation which is wrought at levels deeper than our wills as we follow Christ, by way of death and resurrection, into the Trinitarian love of God. This remains more hinted at than elaborated in the present work, but she leads us to a fruitful starting point for further reflection on what truly is distinctive about a Christian ethic.
