Logos recently published a piece from me on “Navigating Pneumatology: How to Study the Holy Spirit” for their Word by Word blog as part of their recent series on pneumatology. In this piece, I introduce some lexical issues related to the study of the Holy Spirit and then identify three sources of pneumatological reflection in the early church: the Bible, the liturgy of the church, and personal or corporate experience. As I conclude:

Our gospel, ultimately, must be Trinitarian in shape: the Father sends the Son, our saving King, who in turn sends the Holy Spirit to indwell and empower his people. We cannot understand Good Friday or Easter apart from the Ascension or Pentecost. Our increased appreciation for the Holy Spirit’s role in our salvation allows us to catch still further glimpses of the wonders of God’s amazing grace. Rightly understood, the study of pneumatology should lead us to worship.
