Holy Spirit Book Suggestions

Hey guys,

I am currently looking for Pneumatology resources outside of reformed, evangelical thought. I am curious if anyone has any suggestions on the most controversial, popular books or articles released concerning the Holy Spirit within the last few hundred years?

Thanks!

I've been reading Come, Creator Spirit: Meditations on the Veni Creator by Cardinal Raniero Cantalamessa (published by Liturgical Press, 2008) for my Trinity course in seminary. Not that it's a controversial text (perhaps it will be for you), and it isn't a landmark text that changes the theological conversation, but there is an observation in the author's introduction that caught me off guard and gave me a moment of pause, which is why I share it with you:

"In the Christian churches of the West, the year 2000 began with the solemn chanting of the Veni Creator. Ever since the early decades of the second millennium, every new year, every century, every conclave, every ecumenical council, every synod, every meeting of any importance in the life of the Church, every priestly ordination, every consecration of a bishop, and in years gone by, every coronation of a monarch, began exactly the same way. This hymn was composed in the ninth century, and it has resounded unceasingly ever since then..."

"The Veni Creator is an eminently ecumenical text, and this too helps to make it particularly suitable for the epoch in which we are living. It is the only ancient Latin hymn that has been adopted by all the major churches born of the Reformation. Luther himself undertook a German translation of it. From the very beginning of the Anglican Church, the hymn was included in the rite of the ordination of a bishop. In the churches that have developed in the Calvinist tradition, it occupies an honored place in the collection of hymns for Pentecost. Hence it is that the Veni Creator makes it possible for all Christians to be united in their invocation of the Holy Spirit, who is the one who will lead us to full unity, as the Spirit is the one who leads us to the fullness of truth..."

For those who do not immediately recognize the hymn by its name, here is a link to its wikipedia page.

I started typing so many different messages here, but didn't want to get off-topic. Let me just thank you for posting this and get to work on writing another musical settings for these amazing words. (My church couldn't pull off the original, anyway.)
