Spirit and Ministries: Perspectives of East and West

Abstract

The doctoral dissertation of Rev. J. Areeplackal CMI, which was defended at the Pontifical Gregorian University of Rome, under the supervision of Prof. Philip J. Rosato S.J. in 1988, is now made available to the scholarly and pastoral world in this Book form. The theologians and pastors should be thankful to J. Areeplackal for this timely contribution. This work will be a source of inspiration for the pastors who meet challenges in this post-Vatican era of pneumatic communion and communication. The book will provoke further research in the field of pneumatology - the catalyst which may speed up theological and ecclesial unity between Catholic and Orthodox communities.
