Lloyd Neve's groundbreaking work was the first monograph on the Spirit of God in the Old Testament to appear in English. After demonstrating that the Hebrew term ruach carries three basic meanings (wind, the human spirit, God's Spirit), Neve devotes his study to the Spirit of God texts. He divides these texts into four chronological periods, and in scholarly yet readable fashion he investigates the concept of the Spirit in each respective period. In the oldest texts, the Spirit's work authenticates the ministries of the elders of Num. 11, the judges, Saul, and David. In later periods, the Spirit can denote God's wrath, God's presence, and God's creative power. Furthermore, the Spirit is often projected onto the future messianic ruler. Neve's work continues to serve as a valuable resource for everyone who is interested in the Spirit of God in the Old Testament.
