Sacrifice and Spirit contains the transcripts of two talks on major New Testament themes given by Michael Ramsey. The first is on the Christian concept of sacrifice - a notion rooted in rather gruesome Old Testament custom but now often overlaid with ideas of pious sentiment. What do we actually mean when we describe Christ's death, the central fact of the Christian faith, as being sacrificial? What does the term convey to contemporary minds?

The second talk focuses on the Holy Spirit, especially as described in the Gospel of John - the one who reveals Christ's glory and the one who acts as advocate and comforter.

Accessible, profound, and deceptively simple to read, this short booklet will deepen Christian knowledge and understanding.
