"Y puesto que vivimos por el Espíritu, andemos también en el Espíritu" Gálatas 5:25
El Espíritu Santo nos da fuerzas, nos guía y nos capacita, para crecer y perseverar en nuestra relación con el Padre por medio de Jesucristo. El Espíritu Santo es la persona de la Trinidad menos comprendida, pero aun así, sigue siendo el foco principal de renovación y avivamiento.
J. I. Packer busca ayudar a los creyentes a reafirmarse en el llamamiento a la santidad, atentos a la función que desempeña el Espíritu en el nuevo pacto con Dios. Packer nos muestra la riqueza y profundidad de la obra en acción del Espíritu, evaluando para ello las facetas de la santidad y de los carismas, permaneciendo Cristo en todo momento en el centro y fundamento de un genuino ministerio del Espíritu. Un capítulo complementario analiza la seguridad con que el cristiano puede contar.
Relevante y pleno de significado, este libro aporta un conocimiento vital para una vida cristiana sana y gozosa, mediante el conocimiento y experiencia propia de Dios Espíritu Santo. Un libro que el creyente comprometido leerá una y otra vez.
Dr. Packer, the Board of Governors’ Professor of Theology at Regent College, was hailed by TIME as “a doctrinal Solomon” among Protestants. “Mediating debates on everything from a particular Bible translation to the acceptability of free-flowing Pentecostal spirituality, Packer helps unify a community [evange licalism] that could easily fall victim to its internal tensions.”
Knowing God, Dr. Packer’s seminal 1973 work, was lauded as a book which articulated shared beliefs for members of diverse denominations; the TIME profile quotes Michael Cromartie of the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington as saying, “conservative Methodists and Presbyterians and Baptists could all look to [Knowing God] and say, ‘This sums it all up for us.’”
In a similar tribute to Dr. Packer almost ten years ago, American theologian Mark Noll wrote in Christianity Today that, “Packer’s ability to address immensely important subjects in crisp, succinct sentences is one of the reasons why, both as an author and speaker, he has played such an important role among American evangelicals for four decades.”
For over 25 years Regent College students have been privileged to study under Dr. Packer’s clear and lucid teaching, and our faculty, staff and students celebrate the international recognition he rightly receives as a leading Christian thinker and teacher.
