I. Leon Harris (University of Aberdeen, Scotland) is Assistant Professor of Theology at Biola University, Talbot School of Theology. He has written several articles and presented papers at theology conferences internationally. He resides with his family in southern California.
"An excellent study. Harris has invited two outstanding theological
minds to a constructive dialogue about the Holy Spirit. Having
followed their lively exchange with attentive and gracious insight,
Harris advances his own nuanced pneumatology: one focused on the
Spirit's active, personal agency--along with Father and Son--not
only in individual soteriology, but throughout the created order,
both in the church now and also in the age to come."
--Rob Price, Associate Professor of Theology, Talbot School of
Theology, Biola University; translator of Hermann Cremer's The
Christian Doctrine of the Divine Attributes
"One of the most important frontiers in contemporary ecumenical
theology is the one on which historic Protestantism and global
Pentecostalism encounter one another. Harris' comparative study of
the distinctive contributions of Colin Gunton and Frank Macchia to
contemporary pneumatology promises to inform this ecumenical
encounter in valuable ways, not least by its careful exploration of
how our account of the Holy Spirit can and must give shape to our
doctrines of God, creation, reconciliation, and redemption."
--Philip G. Ziegler, Professor of Christian Dogmatics, University
of Aberdeen
"Harris' exposition of these two theologians is lucid and
illuminating. Gunton and Macchia receive a fair hearing, and their
unique contributions are clearly spelled out. What especially
stands out to me in this volume is Harris' examination of the
influences on Gunton's pneumatology--Richard of St. Victor, Owen,
Irving, and others. In taking his time to explore these key figures
and their influence on Gunton, Harris has done us a great service.
This is the most thorough and penetrating treatment of Gunton's
doctrine of the Spirit available, and a wonderful contribution to
conversations surrounding 'third article theology, ' as well as
discussions of pneumatology more broadly. A fine work!"
--Uche Anizor, Associate Professor of Theology, Talbot School of
Theology, Biola University
