"Here is catechesis at its best, instructing the student of theology,
providing pastors with a sermon-enriching manual, and giving growing
Christians a resource book that will both inform and nourish them, as
well as provide endless theological enjoyment!"
--Sinclair B. Ferguson, Chancellor's Professor of Systematic
Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary; Teaching Fellow, Ligonier
Ministries
The aim of systematic theology is to engage not only the head but also
the heart and hands. Only recently has the church compartmentalized
these aspects of life--separating the academic discipline of theology
from the spiritual disciplines of faith and obedience. This multivolume
work brings together rigorous historical and theological scholarship
with spiritual disciplines and practical insights--characterized by a
simple, accessible, comprehensive, Reformed, and experiential approach.
In this volume, Joel R. Beeke and Paul M. Smalley unpack the work and
role of the Holy Spirit (Pneumatology) and salvation (soteriology). The
authors examine the Holy Spirit's role in the history of salvation, the
order of salvation, and the believers' experience of salvation. As
readers consider the interrelationship between the Spirit and salvation,
they are invited to explore the direct activity of the Lord in their
lives for their salvation.
