The Third Person of the Trinity (Explorations in Constructive Dogmatics)
Overview
Recent decades have witnessed increased attention on the Holy Spirit, recognizing it as a critical component in Christian thought. While the volume of publications on the Spirit indicate that scholarly discussion about the Spirit is both creative and lively, it does sometimes appear to be diffused across the spectrum of contemporary theological thought. Nowhere does this scattering seem more prevalent when discussion of the doctrine of the Holy Spirit occurs in outlying areas of doctrine and practice rather than within its native context—the doctrine of God.
The 2020 Los Angeles Theology Conference examined pneumatology as a core component of the doctrine of the Trinity, offering constructive proposals for understanding the doctrine of the Holy Spirit with theological and historical depth, ecumenical scope, and analytic clarity. This book represents the proceedings of the conference.

Top Highlights
“The two sendings are brought into relation in the argument” (Page 7)
“First, Holy Spirit as the name of the third person in a doctrinal formula is not distinct” (Page 5)
“First, it analyzes the pattern of biblical naming of the Holy Spirit; second, it relates pneumatology to the doctrine of divine processions and missions, which is fundamental for classical Trinitarian theology; and third, it explores the fruitfulness of using the less biblically obvious category of gift as a description of the third person of the Trinity. The Holy Spirit is God and is from God; by triangulation, this chapter undertakes to specify the meaning of both sides of this statement.” (Page 1)
“The statement explicated that black theology is not an expression of the theology given by white slave masters but an appropriation and interpretation of the gospel by and for black Christians.” (Page 186)
“The Holy Spirit is the one through whom we are united to God and being transformed into the image of his Son.” (Page 37)
