Independent intensities, 0–5 — what the work is made of, not how good it is.

A shorter book for a general readership, published by Hendrickson in 1996, that presents the conclusions of God's Empowering Presence (1994) without its detailed exegesis and footnotes. Fee sets out Paul's understanding of the Holy Spirit as the personal presence of God, the fulfilment of the promised new covenant, the one by whom believers enter the Christian life and are formed into the people of God, and the source of the church's worship and gifts. It is the place where his central theme reaches non-specialists, and it was reissued in 2023 in an edition prepared with Dean Pinter.
