The Influence of the Holy Spirit: The Popular View of the Apostolic Age and the Teaching of the Apostle Paul
The
name Hermann Gunkel is as familiar to biblical scholars as their own.
Gunkel founded a school, fathered form-critical research, and taught
most of the giants of the last generation. . . from the Introduction
This little book, the first by Hermann Gunkel, shattered the reigning
images of the New Testament idea of the Spirit. Gunkels argument not
only revolutionized the theology of his time but has continued to be
foundational for most subsequent studies on the subject. As he did in so
much of his work, Gunkel not only explores the milieu of the New
Testament but also demonstrates the dependence of the biblical message
upon its religious environment. Hermann Gunkel was a leading exponent of
the History of Religions School and author of major historical-critical
studies of the Psalms and Genesis. He was editor of the monumental Die
Religion in Geschichte und Gegenwart, to which he contributed over one
hundred articles. Roy A. Harrisville is Professor of New Testament
Emeritus at Luther Seminary in Saint Paul, Minnesota. He is the author
of Fracture: The Cross as Irreconcilable in the Language and Thought of
the Biblical Writers and, with Walter Sundberg, of The Bible in Modern
Culture: Baruch Spinoza to Brevard Childs. Philip A. Quanbeck II is
Associate Professor and Chair of Religion at Augsburg College in
Minneapolis, Minnesota.Get it or here
