Description
This sectional will explore the role of the Holy Spirit in revealing the divinity of Jesus Christ, focusing especially on the Nicene Creed’s statement: “I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life.” Drawing on both ancient and contemporary theologians, this session will argue that the Holy Spirit reveals the abstract truth of the divinity of the Son into reality, for our salvation. The theologians considered will include St. Athanasius, for his foundational contributions to Nicene theology; St. Gregory of Nyssa, for his developed Trinitarian Nicene thought; Dr. Leopoldo Sánchez, for his articulation of Spirit Christology and its modern ecclesial implications; and Dr. Khaled Anatolios, for his insights into how the Holy Spirit reveals Christ for the mission of the church. Through these theological perspectives, this sectional will demonstrate how the Holy Trinity is revealed in Scripture, doctrine, mission and the lived experience of the Christian.
