Treasure in Earthen Vessels: Fleshing out Paul's Radical Pneumatology

The Reformed tradition claims it is "always being reformed by the Word of God." Yet, the Spirit, the animating force of such transformation, is (too) often estranged and relegated to the Trinity's third person and last position. There is much more focus on the doctrine of God and Christology than pneumatology. In this paper, I explore how returning to the participatory and operative pneumatology in Paul's thought can inform and contribute to ongoing contemporary conversations and practices within Reformed theology.
