At the beginning of the book, the author, Gordon Fee, bored me to tears. Once I realized who the author was I understood that perhaps he was writing at a higher level that I could understand. After a few chapters I started to pick up the author's intention. Based on my personal experience as a Christian, there is no doubt that, in many churches, the Holy Spirit, just as in the Jehovah's Witnesses movement, has become a thing. The Spirit used to be treated and identified as a person but now it seems that in many churches He is identified with the fruit and/or gifts of the Spirit; the Spirit has become the force or influence in everything local churches try, or strive, to do. Even within the Assemblies of God churches, the Spirit has taken the back seat as He is much more identified with speaking in tongues, interpretation of tongues, dancing, and prophetic utterances. Though those are manifestations of the Spirit, they have taken centered stage. In other words, He is much more identified with the things of God instead of as the Spirit of the living God who makes His dwelling with the Church of Jesus Christ. Though many are the ones who acknowledge the Spirit as the One who convicts a person of his sinful nature/state and as the One who sanctifies and transforms the people of God into the image of His Son, Jesus the Christ that is as far as the Spirit of God seems to go in many churches. Churches need to give the Spirit of God His rightful place since "we are dealing with none other than the personal presence of God."The author stated on page 37 the following: "I believe in God the Father; I believe in Jesus Christ, God's Son; but I wonder about the Holy Ghost." Though he is in no way demeaning the work and importance of the Spirit of God in salvation history in Christ, he is nonetheless expressing the view that, in my opinion and his, is traditional or prevalent among some Christian churches. This is evident between some Baptist and Pentecostal churches, for example. While one group concentrates much more on the Word and less on the Spirit, the other group's emphasis is on the Spirit and less on the Word. One group can see heresy 20 miles away while missing the Spirit by an inch while the other can detect the Spirit 20 miles away but missing doctrinal error by an inch. This is just a general observation, though.What Gordon Fee is trying to do, and I think he achieved it, is to present Paul's view on the Spirit of God as the One who is able to unite, for the first time in the history of humanity, both Jews and Gentiles and bring out of these two people the new people of God; the Israel of God, if you will. Paul understands and believes that the Spirit is important in achieving unity within the Body of Christ. He sees the Spirit as the long-awaited-for fulfillment of the promise that God made in the Old Testament that one day His presence would return to His people, that one day He would make a new covenant with His people, and that one day He will put His Law in the minds, and write it in the hearts, of His people. Paul, according to Fee, sees the giving of the Spirit of God as the true mark, unlike the Torah and its circumcision, of belonging to the family of God. Once Christ ascended into heaven and once the Spirit was sent from heaven, Paul viewed the Spirit as the One who makes the Christian life possible because, what the Law demanded in the Old Testament to do as obedience to God's commandments is now doable by the empowerment of the Spirit to those who believe in Christ for their salvation. I believe the author drove home the view that Paul had concerning the promised outpouring, or God's returning presence, of His Spirit. The apostle Paul understood the importance of the Spirit of God in the lives of the believers that they may be renewed, sanctified, transformed, and empowered to live a life worthy of their calling and to attain salvation which will be consummated sometime in the future. For Paul, and according to Fee, a person that is saved is a person that has the Spirit of God, not just residing in him or her, but living out the life of the same Spirit. In other words, "A Spirit-filled person is a Spirit-fruit bearer." I greatly agree with the author's view of Paul's view on the Spirit of God as the much needed presence of the living God. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well-written, concise, and direct. Better with each re-reading. *by A***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 28, 2022* I love this book. Gordon Fee has done excellent work in compiling and explaining a profound Biblical truth; the Spirit of God indwells the believer in Christ. I've used this book "as is" and as reference for Sunday School classes, home Bible studies, and the basic framework for a discipleship curriculum. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking practical, livable insight for a deeper walk with God ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Book looks brand new / arrived ahead of est. delivery date *by O***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 1, 2022* This initial review is just on the quality of the copy I received and the swiftness of delivery. I'll come back once I've read the book to provide further comments. Goodwill of Roanoke put the copy in the "Used -- Very Good" category. I looks brand new, without a mark or crease on it. It arrived before the seller's estimated delivery time. Well satisfied with both. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/4494721-paul-the-spirit-and-the-people-of-god](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/4494721-paul-the-spirit-and-the-people-of-god) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
