The Holy Spirit cover

Beginning with the Church Fathers and moving right through to the present day, The Holy Spirit offers a theologically informed, international collection of the most important texts relating to Christians' understanding of the Holy Spirit.

  • A new volume of texts and readings offering a chronologically-organized selection of the most important and interesting writings on the Holy Spirit
  • Considers how the Holy Spirit has always been an integral part of both Christian belief and systematic theology - from the Church Fathers through to the present day
  • Each set of readings is prefaced by an introduction from the editor, drawing out the main themes and important historical points, and linking the readings to what has gone before
  • Tackles the disagreements over the role of the Holy Spirit within the Trinity, and how it was a contributing factor in the split between the Western and Eastern Church
  • Opens with a newly-commissioned essay describing the importance of the Holy Spirit in the theology of the last one hundred years, and in particular in relation to the revival of Trinitarian theology
  • <

"This excellent resource gathers writings on the Holy Spirit from the patristic era to the present, giving each a preface introducing its context and contribution." (Religious Studies Review, June 2010)

"With helpful chapter introductions, manageable chapter lengths, and even full-colour images of relevant ecclesial art, this volume clearly lends itself to classroom use." (Evangelical Theology, Spring 2010)
