Fee is one of our most gifted scholars and expositors and most of this book is a very careful and detailed exposition of all the passages where Paul writes of the Holy Spirit.
I love this quote from the opening section, where writing on 1 Cor 2:4-5 Fee writes,
The purpose of the Spirit's coming was not to transport one above the present age, but to empower one to live within it. (page 98)
If your spirituality is about getting out of this world it isn't a biblical spirituality. Give thanks for the gift of God's Spirit enabling us to live together with him under the sun.
