"What must I do to be saved?" That question, raised in the book of Acts by the Philippian jailer, is a question for the ages. Yet what, even, does it mean to be saved? Is salvation for this life or the next? Is it purely spiritual or does it have physical and material implications? Can salvation be lost? Do we determine who will be saved or does God? What role does Christ play in salvation? Such are the seemingly unending questions soteriology strives...

In The Holy Spirit as Space for the Living, George Evans recognizes the significance of the Spirit in pneumatology within the New Testament, emphasizing the Spirit's indwelling presence as a person. However, Evans notes that the functional aspect of the Spirit as the presence of God is often overlooked. The Spirit not only gives life (ruah) but also creates space for individuals to live and thrive. This spatial understanding suggests that the Spirit...

A key refrain in Reformed theology is that God's Spirit trumpets the message of salvation through Jesus Christ into every nook and cranny of the universe-but how? And in what way does this cosmic truth touch and shape the mundane reality of our lives and our world?
In this distillation of his Warfield Lectures, delivered at Princeton Theological Seminary in spring 2014, leading Reformed theologian Cornelis van der Kooi examines the relationship of...

Lloyd-Jones's Reformed doctrine of Spirit baptism
The Welsh minister Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1899–1981) was one of the most influential preachers of the twentieth century. His preaching was grounded in his view on the baptism of the Holy Spirit, but his pneumatology is often seen as a departure from his Reformed heritage.
In The Power of Revival, Dongjin Park explores how Lloyd-Jones's preaching was kindled by his distinctly Reformed view of Spirit...

We Believe in the Holy Spirit is a collection of articles reflecting some of the most important ideas in pneumatology in recent years. Although the articles were not written to fit the articles of the Nicene Creed (381), linking these articles to the articles of the creed sheds imaginative light on the development of ideas in theologies of the Spirit.

Contemporary congregations desire similar moments but are simply not built for them, lacking the discernment postures and practices that would make such a moment possible. This work undertakes a deep reading of Acts 1-15, asking the questions, "What led to this pivotal moment in Acts?"...

Why does the church not preach the Holy Spirit? He was present during the creation moment, he is the author of Scripture, and he is the Helper Jesus left behind. Though Scripture warns not to grieve or quench the Spirit, he is most often ignored, misunderstood, and even feared. The creeds of the church say the Spirit is to be "worshipped and glorified," and yet he is hardly mentioned from the pulpit.
When the Holy Spirit comes to live in believers,...
