Overview

As Buchanan became known as a theologian through this writing, and from his writing on justification, he remained ‘a pastor to the end’. With a pastor/scholar mindset, this three-part study on The Office and Work of the Holy Spirit covers: the Spirit's work in the conversion of sinners, illustrative cases, and the Spirit's work in the edification of His people after their conversion.
