Credits: 2 • Teacher: John Baldwin

This course deals with the work of the Holy Spirit in the plan of redemption and the divine economy. It will encourage and provide opportunity to seminary students to think for themselves and to reason prayerfully about the subject of the Holy Spirit, and not to be mere reflectors of the thoughts of others on this topic; and to increase graduate student interest in this crucially important topic. It will also provide helpful, factual knowledge about selected aspects of the person and work of the Holy Spirit in the plan of redemption and the divine economy as viewed from biblical, theological, and philosophical perspectives. This information will help the seminary student to understand and evaluate fundamental, generalizations and theories with respect to the doctrine of the Holy Spirit.
