Does the Holy Spirit do the same things in New Testament times that He did in Old Testament times? Volume one in the NEW AMERICAN COMMENTARY STUDIES IN BIBLE AND THEOLOGY series for pastors, advanced Bible students, and other deeply committed laypersons addresses this challenging subject. God's Indwelling Presence asks and explores the question: What are the differences and similarities between Old Testament and New Testament believers? Did God dwell in Old Testament believers as He does in New Testament believers? Were Old Testament believers born again (that is, did they experience regeneration)? What do the words indwelling and regeneration mean? How is the Holy Spirit's ministry similar or different during Old Testament and New Testament times? Users will find this an excellent extension of the long-respected NEW AMERICAN COMMENTARY.

Reviewed by Ralph E. Molyneux (Akron, Ohio), June 13, 2009 This book started out as a doctoral dissertation, and for the most part, reads like one. The initial position of the author in this research was that the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit was essentially the same between the Old and New Testaments. However, as he began his quantitative study of the texts, he discovered that there is significant difference in the activity of the Spirit from the Old to the New in relationship with believers. His research served to validate Ryrie's succinct treatment of the issue in his work, The Holy Spirit.
Having read others in this doctrinal series, I was a bit disappointed in the scope of this work which is set to accompany the New American Commentary. It has limited value, and lacks the impact of the other volumes it accompanies in the series. Write a review of God's Indwelling Presence: The Holy Spirit in the Old and New Testaments
