Description
Summary:This introductory paper is intended to scan the horizon of Paul's idea of the Holy Spirit in order to initiate discussion of a difficult subject. As one reviews the material at one's disposal and current theological literature one is astounded at the scantiness of thought on the theme. One comes inevitably to the realisation that Pneuma is the stepchild of N.T. Theology. Abounding in meditation on Christology, the field yields a poor crop as far as Pneuma is concerned. It is also open to question whether one could conceive of an autonomous pneumatological scheme without doing injustice to the unity of N.T. teaching. By this I mean the justifiability of speaking of a Pauline ""doctrine of the Holy Spirit"".
