This work connects the Holy Spirit not only to our personal and ecclesial lives, but also to her presence and action outside the church in other religious traditions, in the world, and in all of creation.
Traces metaphors and images used to describe the Holy Spirit in the pastoral, spiritual works of six authors from the fourthth to the fourteenth century: Augustine, Hildegard of Bingen, Bernard of Clairvaux, Bonaventure, Catherine of Siena, and Julian of Norwich.
