What we need, Levison is arguing over and over in his books, is a \u201cruach\u201d-ology that matches our NT and systematic \u201cpneumatology.\u201d<\/p>\n

Instead of adjudicating which texts are more Christians and which ones aren\u2019t, and whether or not the Spirit indwellt OT covenant believers or not, Levison studies the verbs about the Spirit:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Blowing and breathing<\/li>\n
  2. Coming upon<\/li>\n
  3. Resting upon<\/li>\n
  4. Passed on<\/li>\n
  5. Poured out<\/li>\n
  6. Filling<\/li>\n
  7. Cleansing<\/li>\n
  8. Standing and Guiding<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Then he explores in his conclusion just how \u201cbeyond\u201d the OT ruach is and that, he is saying, is something for Christians to start thinking about.<\/p>\n

    Which we will.<\/p>\n

    Read it all<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Jack Levison \u201cmeans for us to think in terms of God\u2019s Spirit and our spirit in an integrated relationship that \u2026 well\u2026 smashes boundaries and opens up new considerations.\u201d Read more about Levison\u2019s new book A Boundless God at Jesus Creed: https:\/\/t.co\/b1IX5BF9z4<\/a>@scotmcknight<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/lFvqzqkJOV<\/a><\/p>\n
