The Holy Spirit: An Introduction

The doctrine of the Trinity begins to seem altogether irrelevant to salvation history and Christian experience, while soteriology meanwhile becomes naturalized, losing its transcendent reference. If they are connected too tightly, on the other hand, human salvation seems inherent to the divine reality itself. Deftly navigating this tension, Fountain of Salvation relates them by expounding the doctrine of eternal processions and temporal missions, ultimately showing how they inherently belong together.

The Third Person of the Trinity represents the proceedings of the 2020 Los Angeles Theology Conference, which examined pneumatology as a core component of the doctrine of the Trinity, offering constructive proposals for understanding the doctrine of the Holy Spirit with theological and historical depth, ecumenical scope, and analytic clarity. There are twelve diverse essays in this collection. Each of the essays collected in this volume engage with Scripture as well as with others in the field—theologians both past and present, from different confessions—in order to provide constructive resources for contemporary systematic theology and to forge a theology for the future.

The Triune God, A Video Study, part of The Zondervan Beyond the Basics Video Series, features theologian Fred Sanders teaching on the doctrine of the Trinity. These lessons, based on his book The Triune God in the New Studies in Dogmatics series, help viewers explore the biblical, creedal, and confessional shape of this central Christian doctrine.
