Anthony Thiselton's scholarly volume The Holy Spirit — In Biblical Teaching, through the Centuries, and Today was published to wide acclaim in 2013 and won a 2014 Christianity Today Book Award. Through his Shorter Guide to the Holy Spirit readers will be able to access Thiselton's vast biblical-theological knowledge and brilliant insight in a more compact, accessible format.

Thiselton leads readers through a broad array of Old and New Testament texts on the Spirit, explores the Spirit's relationship to key Christian doctrines, and investigates a number of issues relating to the way Christians experience the Spirit, especially within the context of Pentecostal and charismatic practice. In the book's penultimate chapter, Thiselton gives a personal testimony to the Holy Spirit's presence in his own life and work.
