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
