The Holy Spirit in the Mediaeval Church: A Study of Christian Teaching concerning the Holy Spirit and His Place in the Trinity from the Post-Patristic Age to the Counter-Reformation

The Holy Spirit in the Mediaeval Church continued the work of Henry Barclay Swete in the development of the doctrine of the Holy Spirit, and surveys the thousand-year timespan that separates the ancient church from the modern church. Howard Watkin-Jones covers the beginning of the seventh century up to the Reformation and its immediate impact, then summarizes the doctrine of the Holy Spirit in the medieval church. This book aims to shine a light on the foundation of modern thought concerning the person and the work of the Holy Spirit, as well as the place of the Holy Spirit in the triune life of God.
