Lee Snook, in his provocative publication What in the
World Is God Doing?, observes that the African Christian
appears more aware of the working of the Holy Spirit
than his American counterpart. I would heartily concur
with this observation, having been engaged in two short
term teaching assignments in Nigeria.
With this in mind, the text deals first with the African
experience, and then the return home. After which, it
touches on the Jesus of history, along with a transition
concerning the Spirit of Jesus. This calls for a reality
check, before discussing the secular and sacred.
Finally, with regard to the future and present.
Two appendices recall my earlier publications concerning
the Holy Spirit. First, Saga of the Spirit deals with
the topic from the perspectives of Biblical, systematic,
and historical theology. This served for some time as a
course text book. Second, Signature of the Spirit
explores the topic as expounded in the two-volume work:
Luke/Acts. As such, it considers what may be
legitimately attributed to the Spirit.
