"Fee's book is the most comprehensive treatment available of Paul's understanding of the Holy Spirit, a topic that has rarely received sufficient attention in studies of Pauline theology. Fee's method is exemplary: he first analyzes Paul's statements about the Spirit, in each individual letter, and then moves to a synthesis of Paul's general pneumatology. The result is a book that is deeply exegetical, doing justice both to the particularity of Paul's writings and to the fundamental unity of his vision for the Spirit's role in the life of the Christian community. Most importantly, Fee emphasizes insistently that the Holy Spirit must be experienced as a living presence within the church. That message is both faithful to Paul and urgent for the community of faith in our time."--Richard B. Hays, professor of New Testament, Duke University Divinity School
"With the energy and care that is a trademark of his work, Gordon Fee here fills a significant gap in Pauline studies. Both those who find talk about the Holy Spirit congenial and those who would happily marginalize it will be instructed by this book. Fee makes a genuine contribution as he examines Paul's letters in conversation with both the exegetical tradition of the academy and the pressing needs of the church."--Beverly R. Gaventa, professor of New Testament and exegesis, Princeton Theological Seminary
"Fee uniquely combines professional competence as a text critic, an exegete, an author and editor of major commentaries, and a foremost evangelical interpreter of Paul with a lifetime of formation and ministry among the Pentecostals--this century's providential witnesses to the work of the Spirit of God among us. . . . Fee's work offers an enduring encyclopedia of Pauline pneumatological exegesis, easy to consult for next Sunday's sermon, yet substantial enough to take its place near George Ladd's *Theology of the New Testament* as a must-have, within arm's reach, for serious interpreters of Paul's gospel. . . . Fee's work is the theological crown of a distinguished exegetical career."--Russell P. Spittler, senior professor of New Testament, Fuller Theological Seminary

A Book Every Bible College Student Needs When Looking at Pauline Theology
This book has a depth about it that would be a great help for students who have some knowledge of New Testament Greek and who want to look closely at the Apostle Paul’s theology. Fee takes a view that challenges the usual standard evangelical view of the main emphasis of Paul’s theology. Fee, a self-confessed Pentecostal scholar and Pastor, makes no bones about how he sees it. Fee supports his view that Paul’s main emphasis in his writings is on the Holy Spirit. He supports his view very well. He is meticulous in covering every passage in Paul’s writings where Spirit/spirit is mentioned or implied. This is a huge book and it takes a lot of persistence to read it all. It is really worth the read, but it is a book I have placed amongst my reference books on the Holy Spirit. Fee has done theological scholarship a huge favour in his writing this book. I am sure it will be a great reference book for future New Testament scholars. Even if your theology is not Pentecostal, this book will help the reader see the ‘now but not yet’ relationship of the believer with the Holy Spirit. While some may not agree with Fee’s theology, his book is a mine of information. Don’t write it off as being theology-light. It is not. I know I have gained a lot in my understanding of the Spirit through reading it and believe you can too.

Detailed exposition on Pneumatology in the letters of Paul
This book is a detailed exposition on Pneumatology in the letters of Paul. It is much like a textbook, so you would need to really concentrate when reading this book, but it does give you a good understanding of the doctrine of the Holy Spirit from the letters of Paul.
