DescriptionTo think about the Spirit it will not do to think spiritually: to think about the Spirit you have to think materially, claims Eugene F. Rogers. The Holy Spirit, who in classical Christian discourse pours out on all flesh, has tended in modern theology and worship to float free of bodies. The result of such disembodiment, contends Rogers, is that our talk about the Spirit has become flat and uninspiring. In After the Spirit Rogers diagnoses a related gap in the revival of trinitarian theology, a mentality that theres nothing the Spirit can do that the Son cant do better. The Eastern Christian tradition, by contrast, has usually linked the Holy Spirit with holy places, holy people, and holy things. Weaving together a rich tapestry of sources from this tradition, Rogers locates the Spirit in the Gospel stories of the annunciation, Jesus baptism, the transfiguration, and the resurrection. These stories offer illuminating glimpses into both the Spirits connection with the tangible world and the Spirits distinctive place in relation to the other persons of the Trinity.
