The Work of the Holy Spirit

The Work of the Holy Spirit

Author(s): Kuyper, Abraham (1837-1920)

Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library

Description: "Even though we honor the Father and believe on the Son,

how little do we live in the Holy Spirit!" Throughout the history

of the Christian tradition, the Holy Spirit has been one of the

most elusive aspects of the faith. During Kuyper's time, very

little attention had been given to the person and works of the

Holy Spirit. Kuyper recognized this void, and as the editor of

the weekly religious publication entitled The Herald, Kuyper

dedicated approximately one hundred short entries to the

works of the Holy Spirit.The Work of the Holy Spirit is a

compilation of these entries organized into three Volumes.

Volume One addresses the influence of the Holy Spirit in the

Church as a whole, while Volumes Two and Three focus on

the works of the Holy Spirit in the individual. Kuyper's entries

provide a comprehensive study of the Holy Spirit, exploring

in detail how the Holy Spirit sanctifies both the Church and

its members.
