Abstract

One might describe this book as dreamy, in at least two senses. First, Augustine’s prose verges on poetry so that at many points the book simply sings . Second, as the title suggests, the work is enormously ambitious. Augustine’s transformative vision, vigorously stated in intensely concentrated form, takes in the widest possible scope: the “cosmopolitan future of the world,” a future that ultimately rests in the once-for-all inclusion of the whole of creation in the joys of the Triune life. This audacity is born of and borne along by a full-bodied pneumatology. Augustine insists that the Spirit, the lordly “giver of dreams and visions” is always everywhere at work inspiring the Church to see the world and its telos otherwise; that is, in the transfiguring light of Christ. In her own words, “The creator Spirit inspires … The transformer Spirit induces change … The liberator Spirit sets us free to be and to become” all that Christ is and makes possible. Augustine’s pneumatology is delicately entwined with an equally robust ecclesiology. Contrary to typical Pentecostal habits, she works from the assumption that the Spirit’s prophetic ministry functions through the Church as Christ’s body—not exclusively through individual charismatics within
