THE SPIRIT AND THE WORD
By Z. T. SWEENEY
INTRODUCTION
I. THE SPIRIT AND THE OLD TESTAMENT
II. THE SPIRIT AND THE NEW TESTAMENT
III. THE PERSONALITY AND DIVINITY OF THE SPIRIT
IV. THE SPIRIT AND JOHN THE BAPTIST
V. THE SPIRIT AND JESUS
VI. THE SPIRIT AND THE APOSTLES
This work invites listeners to explore the Holy Spirit through the lens of Scripture, treating the biblical texts as the sole guide rather than philosophy or science. Beginning with the Spirit’s appearances in the Old Testament, it shows how early passages already hint at a divine presence that prepares the way for later revelation. The author carefully outlines the numerous names and roles assigned to the Spirit, drawing attention to how each underscores a different aspect of its relationship to God, the Son, and humanity.
Moving forward, the treatise examines the New Testament’s richer portrait of the Spirit, delving into its personality, divinity, and activity among John the Baptist, Jesus, the apostles, and the early church. Throughout, the tone remains earnest and reverent, encouraging listeners to follow the biblical narrative and consider how the Spirit’s power is presented as a living, transformative force for believers.
