Includes bibliographical references and index.

Summary: 'This volume presents interdisciplinary, intercultural, and interreligious approaches exploring a pneumatological theology in its broadest sense. The authors seek to discern the spiritual dimensions in terms of history, culture, the polis, the cosmos, sciences and religions. The essays are driven by an intuition that pneumatological sensibilities, categories, and insights can both inform of a more robust doctrine of the person and work of the Holy Spirit in the world and enable the appreciation that we inhabit what can be called a Spirit- and spirit-filled world.'
