{"product_id":"the-holy-spirit-the-church-and-pneumatological-renewal-9789004498563","title":"The Holy Spirit, the Church, and Pneumatological Renewal","description":"While belief in God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit is at the very core of the Christian faith, the significance of the Spirit in particular is sometimes overlooked in faith practice and theological reflection, resulting in what theologians call \u003ci\u003eGeistvergessenheit\u003c\/i\u003e. In this context, \u003ci\u003eLumen Gentium\u003c\/i\u003e, one of the most important documents of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), is usually praised for its pneumatological renewal. The current volume, however, argues that this renewal is no more than modest. The Holy Spirit is still conceived of predominantly as an adjunct to Christ. To substantiate that claim, Jos Moons has developed a novel method of close reading on the basis of which he compares \u003ci\u003eLumen gentium\u003c\/i\u003e’s conception of the Spirit to that of \u003ci\u003eMystici corporis\u003c\/i\u003e (1943). He also analyses the redaction-historical development of the former and concludes with a plea to envisage the Spirit more boldly: as actively guiding the church, especially by means of the \u003ci\u003esensus fidelium\u003c\/i\u003e, its charisms and the discernment of spirits.","brand":"Jos Moons SJ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48310641459451,"sku":"9789004498563","price":167.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9789004498563.jpg?v=1772491369","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/the-holy-spirit-the-church-and-pneumatological-renewal-9789004498563","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
