Reviews

"Kenneth Loyer brings together strong strands from Catholic and Methodist traditions relating to the Holy Spirit in this carefully written book Loyer offers an invitation to all Christians to contemplate the Trinity more deeply"--Jana M. Bennett -U of Dayton, Anglican Theological Review "Loyer has given us a careful and detailed analysis and comparison of Thomas Aquinas and John Wesley on the Holy Spirit, with an emphasis on the Spirit as divine love. This is a significant contribution to the study of both theologians with important implications for contemporary theology. Along with the other excellent comparison of Aquinas and Wesley by Edgardo A. Colón-Emeric on Wesley, Aquinas & Christian Perfection: An Ecumenical Dialogue, we now have two major works comparing these two important theologians... This book that will not only benefit Wesleyans and Thomists, but Pentecostals, Charismatics and others who have theologies that strongly emphasize the person and work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of Christians. As a study of the Spirit, in good Wesleyan and Thomistic fashion, it is also a study of love divine, a love that both is at the heart of God's life and is brought into our lives by the power of the Holy Spirit."--Knight, Henry, Pneuma
