p35And the spirit of the Father is in his Son’s sons: Sons’ does appear to be correct in light of the prior sentence which provides the context — “…this life of the Father is in his Sons.”

When all is said and done, the Father idea is still the highest human concept of God. See Halbert Katzen’s short essay In the Name of the Father, which develops a philosophical foundation for using the word Father for God that focuses in on the parental, personal, and freewill nature of our relationship to God.
