In the Pauline literature of the New Testament, the characteristics of the Spirit and the Christian life are described through the use of metaphor. An interpreter of Paul must understand his metaphors in order to arrive at a complete understanding of the Pauline pneumatological perspective. The aim of this study is to examine how the Pauline Spirit-metaphors express the intangible Spirit's tangible presence in the life of the Christian. Rhetoricians prior to and contemporary with Paul discussed the appropriate usage of metaphor. Aristotle's thoughts provided the foundation from which these rhetoricians framed their arguments. After a survey of metaphor in the Greco-Roman world during the NT period, then modern approaches to metaphor are studied. The modern linguistic theories of substitution, comparison, and verbal-opposition are offered as representative examples. The conceptual theories of interaction, cognitive-linguistic, and the approach of Kövecses are surveyed. It is important to understand the systematic and coherent attributes of metaphors. These can be divided into structural, orientational, and ontological characteristics, which are rooted in the conceptual approach of metaphor asserted by Lakoff and Johnson (cognitive-linguistic). These characteristics are evaluated against each of the Pauline Spirit-metaphors. The Pauline Spirit-metaphors can be categorized as metaphors of re-creation, progression, and consummation, which mirror the three stages of the Christian life. The Pauline Spirit-metaphors of baptism (1 Cor. 12:13), drink (1 Cor. 12:13), circumcision (Rom. 2:29), and adoption (Rom. 8:15, 23) belong in the category of "re-creation." These metaphors describe the role of the Holy Spirit in the life of the Christian at the point of conversion. The metaphors of progression include walk (Gal. 5:16, 25), fruit (Gal. 5:22), temple (1 Cor. 3:16), filled (Eph. 5:18), quench (1 Thess. 5:19), sword (Eph. 6:17), and law (Rom. 8:2). These explicate the development of holiness that a Christian experiences during life on earth through the power and presence of the Spirit. The Pauline images of seal (2 Cor. 1:21-22; Eph. 1:13; 4:30), down-payment (2 Cor. 1:22; 5:5; and Eph. 1:13-14) and first fruits (Rom. 8:23) are his Spirit-metaphors of consummation. These emphasize the future consummation that has yet to be experienced by those alive in Christ's Spirit on earth.

In the Pauline literature of the New Testament, the characteristics of the Spirit and Christian life are described through the use of metaphor. An interpreter of Paul must understand his metaphors in order to arrive at a complete understanding of the Pauline pneumatological perspective. Thus, The Pauline Metaphors of the Holy Spirit examines how the Pauline Spirit metaphors express the intangible Spirit's tangible presence in the life of the Christian. Rhetoricians prior to and contemporary with Paul discussed the appropriate usage of metaphor. Aristotle's thoughts provided the foundation from which these rhetoricians framed their arguments. In this context, The Pauline Metaphors surveys the use of metaphor in the Greco-Roman world during the NT period and also studies modern approaches to metaphor. The modern linguistic theories of substitution, comparison, and verbal opposition are offered as representative examples, as well as the conceptual theories of interaction, cognitive-linguistic, and the approach of Zoltán Kövecses. In examining these metaphors, it is important to understand their systematic and coherent attributes. These can be divided into structural, orientational, and ontological characteristics, which are rooted in the conceptual approach of metaphor asserted by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson. This book evaluates these characteristics against each of the Pauline Spirit-metaphors.

Most of the churches authors Kesha Hinton and Jennifer Price have attended have more female than male members, a fact that many single sisters find thoroughly irritating. They believe that because these ladies spend so much time together in the service of the Lord, they should be more loving and accepting of one another. Instead of unity and harmony, however, there is frequently strife, fighting, arguing, complaining, jealousy, envy, and impatience. In Influential Spirits, Kesha and Jennifer take a comical yet serious look at the various spiritual personalities you may find among the women in any Christian church. Through hilarious and at times harrowing descriptions of each spirit, they discuss the spiritual attributes that uplift and those that tear down. They describe how these attributes are developed and maintained by women in the church, and they give suggestions of how to be transformed from a destructive spirit into a constructive spirit. Also included are scriptural references and prayers that you can use when faced with either challenges or joy. The Scriptures provide the critical information needed to rise above the negative influences in our lives. Take a fun and insightful spiritual journey with Kesha and Jennifer into Influential Spirits.

Spirits are more than dead people, ghosts and unseen spooky things. In fact, spirits are quite normal and are part of our everyday life. God is spirit, angels are spirits and even people are spirit creatures. Dr. Randy Lee Delp's investigation of spirits has brought clarity to life's failures and successes. Through his personal experiences and documentation of biblical stories, Delp has presented an organized assessment of the spirit world that brings sanity to the idea of a co-existing realm that explains people's behavior. He links the spiritual world to the physical world through neuro-scientific studies about thoughts and bridges our thought life to words, emotions and behavior.The Study of Spirits authenticates one's belief in God and explains how and why we react and respond to adversity. He delves into personal encounters with spirits and helps the reader understand how to be free from the evil that plagues our world.Although written as a textbook, this book provides the reader, who is eager to know about the spiritual realm, a fresh and insightful description of what exists beyond the physical.His recent publications, Impact of The Book of Enoch Upon Christianity and Other Religions and The Living Enoch, Chapter By Chapter has brought definition to ancient literature that is still influencing society today. Dr. Delp has taught the Bible and Christian literature for over forty years. His tenured experiences as educator, pastor and author qualify him as an expert in the field of Pneumatology.

Finny Philip inquires into Paul's initial thoughts on the Holy Spirit. Paul's conviction that he was called to be an apostle to the Gentiles and that God bestowed the Spirit upon the Gentiles apart from Torah obedience is the basis for any inquiry on this subject. Central to Philip's argument is Paul's conviction that God graciously endowed his Gentile converts with the gift of the Spirit, an understanding that is rooted primarily in his conversion experience and secondarily in his experience with and as a missionary of the Hellenistic community in Antioch. In examining the range of expectations of the Spirit that were present in both Hebrew scripture and in the wider Jewish literature, the author comes to the conclusion that such a concept is rare, and that it is usually the covenant community to which the promise of the Spirit is given. Furthermore, Paul's own pre-Christian convictions about the Spirit, a result of his own self-perception as a Pharisee and persecutor of the church, display continuity between his thought patterns and those of Second Temple Judaism. Paul's Damascus experience was an experience of the Spirit. His experience of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ (2 Cor. 3:1-4:6) provided him with the belief that there was now a new relationship with God, which was possible through the sphere of the Spirit. In addition, Paul was influenced by the Hellenists, whose theological beliefs included the perception of the church as the eschatological temple in which the Spirit of God is the manifest presence of God. It is in these notions that one may trace the origins of Paul's thoughts on the Holy Spirit.
