Commentary
Doctrine of Holy Spirit, The
Outline: This book formed the capstone of the author's teaching. Handling his subject under three divisions, the author treats first the testimony to the Holy Spirit as it is progressively revealed in Scripture. Secondly, he gives detailed attention to six subjects: the personality and procession of the Holy Spirit; the work of the Spirit in the anointing of Christ; the work of the Spirit in connection with revelation and inspiration; the Spirit's regenerating work in te individual; on the Spirit of holiness; and the work of the Holy Spirit in the church. Finally, there is a historical survey of the doctrine of the Holy Spirit from the Apostic age. Though considered by the author's colleague, James Macgregor, to possess 'the best constituted theological intellect in Christendom', the author's lucid style and earnest spiritual convictions make him valuable to all Christian readers. Filled with the Spirit at Pentecost, he writes, 'the timid became bold, the selfish self-denied, the arogant humble', and he characterizes as 'mischievous and misleading' the opinion that the church, having received the Paraclete, is no longer warranted to pray for effusions of transforming power today.
