This review is from: God's Gift Giving: In Christ and Through the Spirit (Paperback)
This book covers several areas of theology, including spirituality, the Trinity, Sacraments, Pneumatology, and more. For anyone who has ever had a class from Father Kevin, this book is as rich and encompassing as his lectures. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a good read in any of these areas.
Particularly useful to me was the final chapter, "God's Gift Giving: Some Pastoral Implications." I suppose after having read the entire book this chapter took on more meaning than it would have by itself, but I still think it is the most useful chapter of the book as practical theology. This is not to take away from the rest of the book. Rather it is another dimension of the theology the author develops in this material.
I agree with the assessment that there is one lack in the book and that is no bibliography. The book is full of scholarly and interesting citations, some of which I followed up on immediately and was glad I did. A complete bibliography, however, would have been most welcome.
This is a book that deserves a wide audience and I strongly recommend it.
