Need Some Advice…

Need Some Advice… June 8, 2008

I am about the write a short section in my thesis on the Apostle Paul’s conception of the work of the Holy Spirit.  I know that that is a huge topic, but I am mostly looking at it from the perspective of the instances where he uses it in relationship to cultic metaphors: Temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 3.16; 6.19); also worship in Spirit (Phil. 3.3) – that sort of thing.

Does anybody have suggestions as to what I should be reading?
Here is what is on my list to read:

Fee – basically everything he’s written; but especially God’ s Empowering Presence

Scott, Ian – Implicit epistemology in the letters of Paul: story, experience and the Spirit

Philip, F. The Origins of Pauline Pneumatology

The Festschrift for James Dunn

Lull, D., The Spirit in Galatia

Fatehi, M. The Spirit’s Relation to the Risen Lord in Paul

Levison, J. The Spirit in First Century Judaism

Also I plan on looking at all the articles on the Holy Spirit in the IVP Dictionaries (especially Dictionary of Paul and His Letters; and the Dictionary of the Old Testament Pentateuch, Anchor Bible Dictionary, New Interpreter’s Dictionary) – what else?

Are there major studies I should be consulting?
