About this book
In Giver of Life, renowned theologian Jane Williams leads you into a deeper understanding of the Holy Spirit's vital role in Christian thought and in the lives of all who follow Jesus today.
Through a thoughtful exposition of the Nicene Creed, Williams traces the rich theology behind the Spirit's titles and explores the deep connection between the Spirit and the life of Christ.

With its stimulating questions for reflection at the end of each chapter, Giver of Life is a must-read for anyone seeking to enhance their appreciation of the Holy Spirit's transformative work in the world and in the life of every Christian - past and present.
