Patrick Vance S. Nogoy, SJ (“God’s Forever Gift of Godself: Examining the Roles of the Holy Spirit in Jn. 14-16”) investigates the roles of the Holy Spirit under the theme of departure. In the Farewell Discourse (Jn. 14-16), Jesus consoles his disciples because of his impending departure. Patrick observes that a close reading of the verses reveals different sub-themes in Jesus’ farewell, thus providing a fresh theological perspective about the personality and mission of the Holy Spirit as understood by the Johannine community. Patrick writes that the rising tension in the sub-themes of departure organizes the roles of the Holy Spirit under the framework of intimacy, mission, and glorification. – from the Editor’s Preface
