Publisher's Synopsis
From the FOREWORD.
Luke gives as a reason for writing his account of Christ the fact that many others also had written narratives concerning him. I make a like apology for publishing this study of the Holy Spirit. Many writers have given us books on the Holy Spirit. They have written nobly, with insight and inspiration. It is a thing greatly to be desired to have a place in their company.
I may say that I have had opportunity to study carefully and at length the subject herein presented. For several years I have given special attention to it in preaching and in lecturing to my students and to other audiences. I have been requested frequently on these occasions to print the discourses.
While I am indebted to others for much that I have written, there are some thoughts expressed that are a result of original research. I have attempted also to apply the practical test to certain theories and to subject them to critical investigation to determine whether they are worthy or wanting. This study will, therefore, I hope, be to a small degree at least, a real contribution to the literature on the subject.
