Course Description

This class presents and explicates the Christian doctrine of the Holy Spirit through the use of Scripture, the theological sources of the Christian tradition, and reasoned reflection upon them. Its goal is to inform students about the person and work of the Holy Spirit, and to equip them to teach and proclaim the Spirit’s work in the world today. It includes discussion of the person and work of the Holy Spirit; the justification, sanctification, and glorification of believers; and the church and her mission, with attention to the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion and other Anglican sources.
