Fresh Air: The Holy Spirit for an Inspired Life - Couverture souple

'Fresh Air is exactly what its title promises. If there is such a thing as poignant Christian midrash, this surely is it.' --Phyllis Tickle

'People told me Jack Levison was a great teacher, and when I read this book I realized why. His excitement is infectious; he tells a great story; he sets little-known biblical passages on fire and drills down to unimagined depths in well-known ones. He has a boyish enthusiasm, but his account of the holy spirit and what the spirit can do for whole churches, not just individuals! is mature, seasoned, challenging and wise. His scholarship is spot on, his human warmth and Christian compassion are everywhere. An unbeatable combination.' --N. T. Wright

'Levison attests to the quotidian reality of the Spirit in the actual lives of women and men. A subtext of his book is that "mainline" church folk have a lot to learn from Pentecostals. Fresh Air invites a reread of scripture and re-notice of our own lives in the power of the Spirit.' --Walter Brueggemann

Jack Levison teaches at Seattle Pacific University. The author of many books and articles, he has won major national and international awards for his scholarship. Scot McKnight, author of The Jesus Creed, called Levison s Filled with the Spirit the benchmark and starting point for all future studies of the Spirit, and Walter Brueggemann hailed it as inspired.
