A BOUNDLESS GOD might have a misleading title, but it is certainly a worthwhile read! "Finding Christ in the Old Testament" is a bit of a trend over the past several years in books, conferences and sermons. While this book focuses on the Old Testament, it focuses instead on the use of the word "Spirit" or "spirit" in the OT, and what it can teach us as Christians.
Some people --- Christians and nonbelievers alike --- have the mistaken idea that the God presented in the OT is different from the God we find in Jesus and the writings of the New Testament. And some might believe that the Holy Spirit is also much different in the Old in comparison to the New. While the fully-formed doctrine of the role of the Holy Spirit as the third Person of the Godhead is only fully fleshed out in the NT, the auhtor of this work does a thorough word study of every appearance of "spirit" or "the Spirit" which occurs in the OT. This serves as proof that the Holy Spirit has always been an active participant in the works of God, and reading this book will open many eyes, and serve to make subsequent readings of the OT more meaningful. This volume is unique to treating this study of "spirit" for the entire OT. I heartily commend this book to pastors and teachers, as well as to any believer who wants to learn more about the Holy Spirit and see Him in action in all parts of Scripture.

Jack Levison, “A Boundless God: The Spirit according to the Old Testament” is an eye-opening adventure into the vast and complex Hebraic understanding of the Spirit and the Spirit’s working in the world. If you are looking for a book that intelligently captivates and provocatively stimulates and expands our knowledge of the Spirit, this is definitely a book you want to pick up!
