Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from 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 This book is the result of a request made to me in 1911 by the late Professor Swete to continue his work on the development of the Doctrine of the Holy Spirit which, as he remarked at the time and implied later in his preface to The Holy Spirit in the Ancient Church, he felt he would not live to undertake beyond the Age of the Fathers. Being engaged then in reading round the subject in the mediaeval period, I consented to this request, little thinking that, owing to the comparative newness of the ground, it would involve a task covering the space of eleven years. Even so, this book makes no pretensions to being exhaustive, but simply seeks, by surveying the thousand years which separate the Ancient Church from the Modem, to show in as true a light as may be possible what is the foundation of modem thought concerning the Person and work of the Holy Spirit and His place in the Triune Life of God. Since this is a continuation of Professor Swete´s work it naturally follows his method, which, with certain variations, is probably the best for an historical study of mediaeval doctrine as for one of patristic. I am myself responsible for the translations, and have given full references throughout to assist any who may desire to consult the originals for themselves. References are given in each case to modem authorities, of which three have been especially valuable - Erdmann´s History of Philosophy, Fisher´s History of Christian Doctrine, and Herzog´s Religious Encyclopaedia. My sincere thanks are due to the President of the Wesleyan Methodist Conference (the Rev. J. Alfred Sharp) and the officers of the Epworth Press for their kindness and interest; to the Rev. Dr. H. Maldwyn Hughes, Principal of Wesley House, Cambridge, for reading most of the MS. and making several suggestions; and to the Rev. R. Newton Flew, M.A., for compiling the Index of Subjects.
