The Doctrine Of The Holy Spirit

A Distinguished Theologian on the Doctrine of the Holy Spirit Distinguished theologian Matthew Levering offers a historical examination of the doctrine of the Holy Spirit, defending an Augustinian model against various contemporary theological views. A companion piece to Levering's Engaging the Doctrine of Revelation, this work critically engages contemporary and classical doctrines of the Holy Spirit in dialogue with Orthodox and Reformed interlocutors. Levering makes a strong dogmatic case for conceiving of the Holy Spirit as love between Father and Son, given to the people of God as a gift.

A modern classic--revised with more than 70 percent new material--is based on seven Scriptural realities that teach Christians how to develop a true relationship with the Creator.

What is Christian doctrine? The fourteen specially commissioned essays in this book serve to give an answer to many aspects of that question. Written by leading theologians from America and Britain, the essays place doctrine in its setting - what it has been historically, and how it relates to other forms of culture - and outline central features of its content. They attempt to answer questions such as 'what has, and does, Christian doctrine teach about God, the creation, the human condition and human behaviour?' and 'what is the part played in Christian doctrine by the Trinity, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit?' New readers will find this an accessible and stimulating introduction to the main themes of Christian doctrine, while advanced students will find a useful summary of recent developments which demonstrates the variety, coherence and intellectual vitality of contemporary Christian thought.

Systematic theology has long neglected the doctrine of the Holy Spirit. Most of the church's literature on the Spirit is of a devotional or semi-theological nature. And the findings of biblical theology have not yet found their way into dogmatics, much less into the preaching and life of the church. In this book, Hendrikus Berkhof looks at the Christian faith from the viewpoint of the Holy Spirit. He sees the Spirit as the activity of God in Christ between Christ's first and second coming, and stresses the work of the Spirit in the world here and now. Thus Dr. Berkhof discusses the Holy Spirit in a far wider context than usual. Though he gives full attention to the relation between the Spirit and the individual (particularly with reference to Pentecostal beliefs), he places his emphasis on the world-wide aspects of the Spirit--missions, the church, creation, culture. Finally, he points toward an ecumenical consideration--a possible reformulation of the doctrine of the Trinity in light of new insights into the Spirit's nature, promises, work, and gifts. -Publisher
