The Immanent Person of the Holy Spirit from Anselm to Lombard - Matthew Knell - Bog

This study shows that there has not yet been any comprehensive study of the person of the Holy Spirit in the twelfth century, and that such a study has something to add to concepts of twelfth-century thought as well as modern debates in pneumatology. The richness of debate that took place with the advent of scholasticism, and its clashes with more traditional approaches to Christian study, raised issues about western conceptions of the Spirit that were both grounded in scripture and the church fathers' writings, and thoroughly tested by reason and debate.
