About This Book

A theological treatise analyzes the Holy Spirit by relying on divine revelation and close reading of Scripture rather than philosophical or scientific methods. It surveys Old and New Testament references and the variety of names and functions attributed to the Spirit, argues for the Spirit's personality and divinity, and examines specific roles connected with John the Baptist, Jesus, the apostles and the early church, including an extended treatment of the Paraclete promised to the Twelve. Final chapters explore the Spirit's relation to the world and to individual believers and caution against applying passages intended for particular audiences to everyone.
