The Person and Work of The Holy Spirit

"The Person and Work of The Holy Spirit" by R. A. Torrey is a theological exploration from the early 1900s that seeks to uncover the character, role and divinity of the Holy Spirit by referencing both scripture and the author's lived experiences. The author endeavors to show the Holy Spirit as a divine being instead of just an influence. By establishing this important foundation of viewing the spirit as more than simply a power, the scripture encourages a meaningful relationship with God by deepening the understanding of the Holy Spirit as a dynamic, worship-worthy being. The book begins by emphasizing that truly knowing the Holy Spirit's work requires first acknowledging the Holy Spirit's personality with intelligence, intention and emotion; an important initial concept that is later built upon to understand the Holy Spirit’s critical role within the Christian faith.
