The Holy Spirit is one of the most mysterious and elusive aspects of Christian theology, yet it has been a subject of intense interest and debate throughout the history of the church. In this seminal work by Henry Barclay Swete, one of the leading biblical scholars of the late 19th century, the Holy Spirit is examined in the context of early Christianity, specifically in the writings of the Church Fathers. Swete argues that the Holy Spirit was a central and indispensable part of Christian life and worship from the very beginning, and that its role has been obscured by later theological controversies and divisions.
