Abstract
The Holy Spirit and an Evolving Church provides a masterfully concise overview of biblical and patristic pneumatology, links it to Jesus’ eschatological proclamation of the “Reign of God,” and argues that this Spirit-driven eschatology finds expression in the life of the church. It also offers sensitive pastoral recommendations for development and change in current Roman Catholic ecclesial life. It only occasionally develops a robust argument for how Coriden's recommended ecclesial changes grow out of the preceding tradition.
