This insightful book explores the concept of Spirit in the Old Testament, revealing its profound significance and inviting readers to experience its dynamic presence.

In A Boundless God, readers are invited to explore the rich and intricate relationship between breath and Spirit as presented in the Old Testament. The term 'ruah', which translates to breath, wind, spirit, or Spirit, is a significant concept, appearing 378 times throughout the text. This frequency surpasses that of other key terms such as torah, shalom, or Sabbath, highlighting the importance of this theme in understanding the divine. The author, a well-respected Old Testament scholar, delves into this complex subject, making it accessible for both scholars and lay readers alike.

The book offers a comprehensive yet engaging examination of the Spirit in the Old Testament, providing insights that challenge traditional perspectives. With a blend of scholarly rigor and inviting prose, A Boundless God encourages readers to immerse themselves in a world filled with fresh sensory experiences and spiritual depth. Through a series of vibrant verbs, the text illustrates how the Spirit's energy manifests in various forms, including blowing, breathing, coming, resting, and guiding.

As readers journey through the pages of A Boundless God, they will encounter a plethora of Old Testament expressions of the Spirit. These passages not only confront conventional beliefs but also transport readers into a realm of wisdom and wonder. This exploration serves as an invitation to recapture the essence of the Spirit's dynamic presence in ancient Israel, enriching one's understanding of the divine interplay of breath and Spirit.
