What Does the Bible Say About the Holy Spirit?
A six-chapter course exploring the identity, roles, and work of the Holy Spirit across Scripture. Beginning with the Spirit's presence at creation and moving through Old Testament promises, Jesus's teaching, Pentecost, and the apostolic letters, this course builds a comprehensive biblical understanding of the Holy Spirit's personhood, functions in salvation and sanctification, and gifting of the church. Each chapter is anchored in a key passage and progresses from textual observation through historical context to theological synthesis, designed to deepen the learner's wonder at Scripture's revelation.
