This edition of On the Holy Spirit presents a new translation of St Basil treatise on the 3rd member of the Trinity which is widely acepted as a classic expression of the Church's faith in the Spirit, and a lasting testimony to the author's Christian erudition. In the words of St. Gregory the Theologian, 'St. Basil's treatise was written by a pen borrowed from the Spirit's store'.
Basil's work sets forth a cogent distinction of the divine Persons, and their perpetual communion and conjunction. Basil also discusses the the nature of theological language, and the theological significance of the Church's tradition of worship and proclamation. Although the book was written for St. Basil s fourth-century contemporaries, its message remains powerful and surprsingly relevant for Christians from all ages.
