viii, 262 pages ; 25 cm, \"In this book Elizabeth T. Groppe argues that Congar significantly advanced contemporary pneumatology through his elaboration of a theology of the Holy Spirit that is at once a theology of the church and a theological anthropology. The early-twentieth-century Roman Catholic pneumatology that Congar inherited consisted primarily of a spiritual anthropology - a theology of the Spirit's indwelling of the human person. Catholic theologians writing about ecclesiology either failed to mention the Spirit at all or simply appealed to the Spirit as the guarantor of the Church's infallibility and authority. Congar saw this divorce of spiritual anthropology and ecclesiology as a betrayal of Christianity's biblical and patristic heritage and of his own Thomistic tradition. Congar's theology of the Spirit's indwelling of the person is inseparable from his account of the Spirit as co-institutor and life principle of the church.\"--BOOK JACKET, Includes bibliographical references (pages 241-257) and index, The contribution of Yves Congar's Theology of the Holy Spirit -- Yves Congar--theologian of the Holy Spirit -- Spirit of God, spirit of Christ : the trinitarian foundations of Congar's pneumatology -- Congar's pneumatological anthropology and pneumatological ecclesiology -- The indivisibility of pneumatological anthropology and pneumatological ecclesiology -- The significance of Congar's legacy
