This is an excerpt from the introduction of my second book, The Holy Spirit, Chi, and the Other.

I gave a talk on the “Global Understanding of the Spirit” at the University of Saint Joseph in Hartford, Connecticut (April 11, 2013).  The lecture was based on my second book, The Holy Spirit, Chi, and the Other (Palgrave Macmillan).

My book, The Holy Spirit, Chi, and the Other has been reviewed by Rev. Dr. Steve Simmons in the Journal of World Christianity.

“If, theologically speaking, we have just emerged from
