Mystery Manifest

Theology

“Gail Ramshaw’s book is a treasury of biblical and church sources to think and speak about God the Trinity, from anthropomorphic to naturalistic to mythical figures of speech. Ramshaw argues persuasively that we need a community to recognize metaphorical intention in religious discourse, relying on more than words or sounds, but on images, gestures, and symbols to communicate divine mystery. After reading her book, the richness of the lectionary alone will acquire new meaning for you.”

The Holy Spirit in the Christian Life

Theology

“Peterson’s book is a welcome contribution to conversations about the Holy Spirit. She brings her reflections to bear upon our daily engagements with the world. Peterson has done us a service by focusing on God’s activity in and through us, speaking of the Spirit’s work in and after justification. Her approach helps us to articulate our experiences of the Spirit in trusting ways.”
