DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Holy Spirit in the Christian Life offers a brief account of the doctrine of the Holy Spirit, focusing specifically on the question of the person and work of the Spirit in the Christian life. Lutheran theologian Cheryl Peterson identifies three key movements of the Christian life, showing the Spirit's role in each: justification (God the Holy Spirit working for us), sanctification (God the Holy Spirit working in us), and mission (God the Holy Spirit working through us). Peterson explores scriptural and doctrinal perspectives on the person and work of the Holy Spirit--especially from churches with Reformation roots--in view of contemporary spiritual movements, including the spiritual-but-not-religious and the Pentecostal and charismatic movements. In addition, she explores the means of the Spirit's work through Word, sacrament, and spiritual gifts. This book offers a fresh look at the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the church today. It is ideal for seminarians and working pastors.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"The difference between a religion of mere letter and form and one of life and power lies in knowing the Holy Spirit." It was Dr. R. A. Torrey who pointed that out and showed Christians that the Holy Spirit is a Person to be worshiped, Someone who would take hold of you and use you as He transformed you from day to day. Can you, or can any Christian, go far in the Christian life without giving time and thought to the third Person of the Godhead? Obviously not, for the Holy Spirit takes the things of Christ and shows them to us, who makes the practical application of Bible knowledge in the outworking of Christian living. He alone can make Christian theory into life and deeds. Throughout this book, Dr. Pache will direct us into thinking again about who the Holy Spirit is, what He did before Pentecost, and what He has been doing since then in the lives of men. What place does the Holy Spirit have in the service of the Christian worker, and what will be His ministry in the future? The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit answers these questions and others concerning conviction, baptism, filling, indwelling, and gifts of the Spirit.

Not illustrated. 1895 edition. Excerpt: ... INTRODUCTION. BY REV. A. C. DIXON. "We are God's fellow-workers" is a good motto for evangelical Christendom. Believers, saints, heirs, soldiers, we are comparatively worthless unless we are workers. "Faith without works is dead." Before men we are justified by works, and they will accept no substitute. While a French dramatist was reading his latest production to a circle of critics, one of them fell asleep. The dramatist indignantly asked, " How can you criticize my drama while asleep?" "I submit," said the critic, rubbing his eyes, "that sleep is a criticism." The fact that Christians are sleepily inactive is a criticism which the world accepts against Christianity. To the casual observer the difference between sleep and death may not be apparent. An undertaker in New York mistook a sleeping sister for a corpse. His preliminary preparations awoke her, and startled her almost into hysterics. The thought that she had been taken for dead with a view to burial was indeed startling, yet it was a natural mistake for the undertaker to make; and it is natural that the world should regard Christians asleep as dead. A corpse suggests a scalpel or a cemetery, and we, unless active for God, may expect to be cut up by the scalpel of criticism, or buried beneath indifference and scorn. We are workers together. Herein is the real unity which exists to-day. Christians will never unite upon a creed, but they can unite around the Christ. Saved sinners will gladly join hands in seeking to save sinners. Whatever be our differences of church administration or doctrine, if we are Christians at all we can point to Calvary, and say in concert, "Behold the Lamb of God." We are workers together with God. It is important, then, that we learn what God is doing....
The Holy Spirit and Christian Experience

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn The Holy Spirit and Christian Experience, Simeon Zahl presents a fresh vision for Christian theology that foregrounds the relationship between theological ideas and the experiences of Christians. He argues that theology is always operating in a vibrant landscape of feeling and desiring, and shows that contemporary theology has often operated in problematic isolation from these experiential dynamics. He then argues that a theologically serious doctrine of the Holy Spirit not only authorizes but requires attention to Christian experience. Against this background, Zahl outlines a new methodological approach to Christian theology that attends to the emotional and experiential power of theological ideas. This methodology draws on recent interdisciplinary work on affect and emotion, which has shown that affects are powerful motivating realities that saturate all dimensions of human thinking and acting. In the process, Zahl also explains why contemporary theology has often been ambivalent about subjective experience, and demonstrates that current discourse about God's activity in the world is often artificially abstracted from experience and embodiment. At the heart of the book, Zahl proposes a new account of the theology of grace from this experiential and pneumatological perspective. Focusing on the work of the Holy Spirit in salvation and sanctification, he retrieves insights from Augustine, Luther, and Philip Melanchthon to present an affective and Augustinian vision of salvation as a pedagogy of desire. In articulating this vision, Zahl engages critically with recent emphasis on participation and theosis in Christian soteriology, and charts a new path forward for Protestant theology in a landscape hitherto dominated by the theological visions of Barth and Aquinas.
