The Holy Spirit in the Gospels
No full textAbstract: The Synoptics emphasize the eschatological significance of the Holy Spirit in relation to the earthly Messiah, who speaks God’s word. Johannine theology highlights the sending of the Spirit from a post-Pentecost perspective. As paraklētos, the coming Spirit is promised to bring to mind the teachings of the Lord. The word paraklētos expresses facets of this “helper,” or “comforter,” that are analogous to Christ’s. The paraklētos also comes alongside believers, enabling them to embrace the gospel, to fulfill the multifaceted ministries of the gospel, and to convict the unbelieving world. The abiding significance for the church is not identified in charismatic manifestations but in the believer’s relationship with and witness to Christ.</jats:p
The Forerunners of the Reformation
No full textAbstract: The plague, abuses in the church, and mysticism constitute the background for considering forerunners of the Reformation. They should not be viewed as directly causing the Reformation, but as anticipating in various ways reformational concerns. While some advocated practical reforms (e.g., Jan Hus and Savonarola), others developed theological reflection (e.g., the Brethren of the Common Life). Conciliarism, another reform movement through councils, ironically by its failure, propelled the cause of the Reformation. Finally, humanism, by its return to the sources and Scripture, paved the way as well. In conclusion, it is observed that the division between forerunners and Reformers sometimes is not very definite.</jats:p
