I Believe in the Holy Spirit: The Complete 3 Volume Work, by Yves Congar. Crossroads, 1997 ed.
Yves Congar's classic study I BELIEVE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT works to restore badly needed balance to the theological topic of pneumatology. First, it is an authentically ecumenical endeavor. Although a Catholic scholar, Congar extensively and sensitively interacts with Protestant theology as well. Obviously conversant with Roman Catholic and Protestant history, liturgy, and
theology, Congar also articulately addresses the Orthodox tradition and contemporary Pentecostal and Charismatic Renewal movements. Second, the overall work expertly draws on biblical, historical, and theological disciplines. This makes for an exceptionally integrative effort. Third, although perhaps of first importance, Congar's underlying intention appears to be bringing the oft-neglected topic of pneumatology to its rightful place in classic Christian theology. Accordingly, he insightfully
discusses the centrality of the Holy Spirit's person and work in relation to Christology and ecclesiology, especially, as well as in relation to other complementary categories. In the process, Congar clearly contends for the importance of a strong doctrine of pneumatology in the discipline of Christian theology.

St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross: August 9. 1891 - 1942.
A brilliant philosopher who stopped believing in God when she was 14, Edith Stein was so captivated by reading the autobiography of Teresa of Avila that she began a spiritual journey that led to her baptism in 1922. Twelve years later she imitated Saint Teresa by becoming a Carmelite, taking the name Teresa Benedicta of the
Cross.
Born into a prominent Jewish family in Breslau, Germany—now Wroclaw, Poland—Edith abandoned Judaism in her teens. As a student at the University of Göttingen, she became fascinated by phenomenology, an approach to philosophy. Excelling as a protégé of Edmund Husserl, one of the leading phenomenologists, Edith earned a doctorate in philosophy in
1916. She continued as a university teacher until 1922 when she moved to a Dominican school in Speyer; her appointment as lecturer at the Educational Institute of Munich ended under pressure from the Nazis.
After living for four years in the Cologne Carmel, Sister Teresa Benedicta moved to the Carmelite monastery in Echt, Netherlands, in 1938. The Nazis occupied that country in 1940. In retaliation for being denounced by the Dutch bishops, the Nazis arrested all Dutch Jews who had become Christians. Teresa Benedicta and her sister Rosa, also a
Catholic, died in a gas chamber in Auschwitz on August 9, 1942.
