Christian Experience of the Holy Spirit

Today’s free book is Henry Wheeler Robinson’s examination of the Christian Experience of the Holy Spirit.

The doctrine of the Holy Spirit is perhaps beset with more difficulties, and is one on which the views of Christians are less defined than any other. This book endeavours to face the difficulties. It argues from what we know of the spirit of man to what we may believe of the Spirit of God. It puts particular experiencee of the Christian in a wider setting of the revelation of God in nature, history and personality. Finally it shows that there is a new line of approach to a doctrine of the Godhead, when adequate regard is paid to the doctrine of the Holy Spirit
