An Old Testament Theology of the Spirit of God

Summary: Tracking the Holy Spirit through the Old Testament
Review: Hildebrandt's book on the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament is a needed work for today. It gives a biblical approach to the study of the Holy Spirit and is informative and well organized. The author tracks the use of the term "spirit" (ru'ah) through various OT groups (leaders, prophets) and moves through the OT chronologically although he is more synchronic than diachronic in his approach. I found it to be very helpful as it stays close to the text even though Hildebradt is no stranger to alternate views. I recommend the book to any who would like a balanced, biblical approach to the study of the Spirit in the OT.
