This is a study of the person and work of the Holy Spirit in the Bible and Christian theology. A biblical theology of the Holy Spirit will emphasize the eschatological age of the Spirit in which we now live, and how it is anticipated and prefigured in the Old Testament. We will also seek a biblical perspective on the gifts of the Spirit and contemporary charismatic experience. Our study will lead us to know God the Holy Spirit more deeply, live more by his power, and better reflect his holiness. Prerequisite: BTS 101, 102, 201, 202. (3 credits) (Formerly BTS 364)
