Yet, previous studies have primarily concentrated on Athanasiuss Letters to Serapion on the Holy Spirit (ca. 359361), leaving a lacuna in our knowledge of Athanasiuss prior pneumatology. By exploring the period from Athanasiuss election as bishop (328) to the completion of the third Oration against the Arians (ca. 345), this book seeks to help fill this gap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first part argues that by the mid-330s, Athanasius had begun to establish core pneumatological perspectives that he would maintain for the rest of his career. Part 2 examines Athanasiuss three Orations, giving particular attention to Orations 12. To Athanasius, the Holy Spirit is eternal, uncreated, united to the Son, worthy of worship, and essential for salvation. These points laid the foundation for what was to come in Serapion. Without the pneumatological perspectives that he established in the 330s and 340s, Athanasius would not have been prepared to take the next steps of confessing the Holy Spirits divine nature and role in creating the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kevin Douglas Hill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1506416683\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781506416687\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fortress Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Kevin Douglas Hill","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43979795267839,"sku":"9781506416687","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_06e0d39a-5316-47d4-9561-b4c10716b926.jpg?v=1683246943","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/athanasius-and-the-holy-spirit-kevin-douglas-hill-9781506416687","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
