A NEW THEOLOGY OF THE SPIRIT IN JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY Shekhinah/Spirit is a daring rediscovery of the role of the Spirit of God that runs through both Judaism and Christian belief. It explores the rich and diverse history of Jewish interpretations of the divine presence and shows how many profound Jewish insights impact on or relate to Christian understanding of the HolySpirit. The author argues for the viability of a "Spirit Christology" that can be understood from within the covenant relationship and points to the exciting implications such directions will have for the doctrine of the Trinity among Christians. At the same time it linksJudaism and Christianity in dialogue to a common grounding in the saving activity of the God of Israel. Shekhinah/Spirit is a provocative attempt to deepen the grounds of discussion in the Jewish-Christian dialogue.
