A meaty book that brings the Holy Spirit down to earth with careful attention to concrete environments, historical organizations, and specific circumstancesyet without identifying the Spirit idolatrously with those realities. The book abounds in helpful distinctions and surprising comparisons. * Eugene F. Rogers, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, USA * This original and ambitious work asks the novel question of how we might reimagine our institutions through the Spirit. With considerable erudition and a vast range of interdisciplinary sources, Jamie Pitts presents a compelling case for how we might challenge and empower the global church to take on equally global problems. * Peter Dula, Eastern Mennonite University, USA * This is one of the most thought-provoking books Ive encountered in the last decade. It leads me to wonder: Have we underestimated the way in which Gods Spirit can act through institutions? What does it mean for us to take seriously the Spirits agency in our imperfect world? Highly recommended. * Nancy Elizabeth Bedford, Garrett Evangelical Theological Seminary, USA * In a period in which international governance processes such as COP are ineffective and local justice initiatives seem to make little difference, this book is like a breath of fresh air. Pitts provides a wonderfully insightful and nuanced theological account of organisations and institutions: Organizing Spirit is a timely and generative contribution to political theology. * Peter Scott, University of Manchester, UK *
