Like most anthologies, Life in the Spirit, has chapters that are more and less helpful. However, I found the difference in this particular work to be fairly staggering. There were a few exceptionally helpful papers while there were many exceptionally unhelpful papers. When the book (rarely) hit, it was a fun read. Yet when the book (often times) missed, it missed by a large margin.

Gordon Fee and Kelly Kapic's chapters both deserve more than two stars. (Especially Kapic's. This chapter was well researched, well-written, and served as an excellent model of historical theological biography) If it were not for the presence of those two papers this work would have received one star.
