The Holy Spirit

“A gold mine of scholarship. . . . It is a rare scholar who can write well in both historical and biblical theology, and Letham is eminently qualified to do so.”

“Dr. Letham has provided us with a clear and thorough examination of the Christian doctrine of the Holy Spirit, explaining how controversies have arisen and been debated over the centuries. He presents different views fairly and respects the positions taken by others, while at the same time he defends classical Reformed orthodoxy with grace and conviction. . . . An essential reference work.”

“A rich combination of biblical, historical, and systematic theology coupled with shrewd analysis and insight, all placed in tribute to the triune Lord.”

“One need not agree at every point to greatly benefit from this sound and, in view of persisting controversies, balanced treatment of the person and work of the Holy Spirit. All told, an impressive accomplishment.”

“Take[s] us on a historical, biblical, and theological journey that wonderfully and engagingly presents to us the riches and richness of who the Spirit is, what he does, and what he continues to do in creation and redemption. This is a book written for the church—theologians and pastors will benefit greatly, but so will ‘ordinary’ church members.”

“This is an excellent comprehensive study of the Holy Spirit, one that those with an interest in the topic cannot afford to ignore.”

“This is a work of massive erudition, reflecting a lifetime of disciplined study, while at the same time excelling in analysis and evaluation. Yet it is also marked by appropriate humility. . . . Students seeking light on such questions as the filioque and the gifts of the Spirit will turn to this rich source for years to come.”
