First published in 1903 when a large number of books promoting a ‘Second Blessing’ were being published, this little book is just as relevant today in view of the huge number of books promoting charismatic practices based on these earlier errors. It deals with all aspects of the work of the Holy Spirit with warmth and a careful exegesis of all the relevant passages of Scripture. William Biederwolf (1867-1939) served as a Presbyterian pastor and army chaplain, but for the majority of his ministry was an evangelist.

This eBook on the Holy Spirit is the outgrowth of lectures on the topic given in Dr. Walvoord's classes at Dallas Theological Seminary. Over the years, this book has aroused considerable interest and gone through 23 printings in hardcover before prompting this new paperback edition. The Holy Spirit is an extensive treatment of the entire doctrine of pneumatology, using some 1500 Scripture citations, and is designed for theological students and pastors as well as for laypeople desiring to get a complete presentation of the third person of the Trinity who indwells all Christians.

Throughout the history of the church, people have gone to extreme measures in either shying away from the Holy Spirit or ignoring His authority. In many instances, some in ministry have overtaken His work under the guise of being "led" by the Holy Spirit. It is as though a spell has been cast over humanity and Christendom has been split into three groups - those who have gone mad in search of worldly power and acceptance, those who are bewitched by the world after stepping into the twilight zone, and a third group who remains steadfast but cautiously silent. The attempt to reconcile Enlightenment thought with divine revelation, with its attacks against Christianity, intentional or not, has brought us to this point. However, for all of man's plans to understand God better by tying together human rationality and science, Jesus' promise to the believer, that the very Spirit of God would dwell within, has been fulfilled. The best gift man could possibly obtain - the power of God with His unconditional love - is set before us. And yet, this simple but extraordinary gift escapes the understanding of man, who, in his own finite wisdom, is attempting to replace the only one that can save humanity. Foster's work is set to break the spell that has been cast over humanity as she opens the readers' spiritual eyes in this study on the least understood Person of the Godhead. This war cry is sounded to awaken those that sleep and to encourage them to arise from the dead, for Christ shall give them light. How foolish of man to be caught at war, under attack, without holy armor. This book delivers an on time warfare message concerning the gift of power of the Holy Spirit in the individual life of a believer and the ability to break the spell of the enemy. This is only one volume in a series covering a full range of theology examining in traditional systematic fashion Bibliology (What is the Bible?), Soteriology (The High Point of Our Salvation), and Christology (Who Do Men Say I AM?). Emphasis on the full expression of Jesus Christ in the blood covenant and the infallibility of Scripture while stressing the relevance of key convictions of Christian faith and practice in today's world without prejudice through the lens of historical development, preservation, testimonials and an examination of reasons to trust the Bible. A step beyond traditional study with several distinctive features to simplify and attract the mildest of interests: a) Clear writing targeted for precision b) technical terms b) relaxed tone appealing to various audiences c) scriptural basis for doctrine, d) a contemporary edge e) reflective quotes This work includes an extensive bibliography and common glossary designed to promote further reading and appreciation for Systematic Theology and critical thinking.
