This was a good exploration of the topic of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament. It is definitely the most thorough book-length treatment of the Spirit in the Old Testament I have come across. In the preface the author Christopher Wright mentioned that when he was first approached to speak on a five part series on the Spirit in the Old Testament he wondered at first if there was even enough materials for one talk, let alone five. But Wright was in for a pleasant surprised when he started his studies to discover “far more than my first impressions” (9). This book is the result of his 2004 lectures.
