Thoughts on the Holy Spirit

“…the Holy Spirit is single and simple in very respect equally (to God the Father and God the Son)… whatever He may be besides, He is Himself Goodness, and Wisdom, and Power, and Sanctification, and Righteousness, and Everlastingness, and Imperishability, and every name that is lofty, and elevating above other names…

“He ever ‘searches the deep things of God,’ ever ‘receives’ from the Son, ever is being ‘sent,’ and yet not separated, and being ‘glorified,’ and yet He has always had glory.”

— Gregory of Nyssa

  1. Great quote on the Spirit! Whoever said the Fathers didn’t have time for the Spirit in their theology?

  2. Gregory of Nyssa in particular, but the other Cappodician Fathers were so key in developing the theology of the Spirit. It’s a missed part of our history and I’m trying to plow through this stuff.
