The Spirit and the Sketch is an important contribution to the study of theology and the arts. Green & Félix-Jäger have assembled a collection of essays that in their diversity of subjects and approaches are an embodiment of how the Gospel of John describes the Holy Spirit that it "blows where it pleases"-from Bob Dylan and Marc Chagall, to James Baldwin and Vassily Kandinsky, street art, kitsch, worship arts, and so much more. As Green writes in his introduction, "the Spirit gives the world a face," and that face is an infinitely diverse image. May this book inspire new collaborations and cooperations with that Spirit that enables us to see in ever new ways the face that gives life.

In these gestural sketches of pneumatology and the visual arts, the authors of this volume open up fresh insights into the ministry of the Holy Spirit in and through the work of painters and photographers, of both pop art and public art, and in terms that are, at times, decidedly philosophical, while at other, necessarily prophetic or deeply personal. In doing so, they point us to the One who teaches us to see the world rightly so that we might both love it freely and live in it fully. This is a book that is guaranteed to stimulate spirited conversation within the field of theology and the arts.
