| Summary: | Abstract This study employs an “elect” concept to frame the diverse nature and work of the Spirit in Isaiah. God created humans in his image and enlivened them by his to “rule over” the whole of creation. This makes God’s elect a “charismatic” figure: chosen or called to be his possession and to stand between God and the recipients of the elect’s ministry, and to perform God-given tasks with his enduring and equipping presence through the Spirit. For the “tasks,” the Spirit equips or empowers the elected entity. However, the book of Isaiah also contains references to the Spirit without a human agent, revealing God’s character and work. This study will examine key passages of the Spirit in Isaiah to identify the Spirit’s role over the recipients with a focus on its “charismatic” function upon the “elect.” |
