St. Basil the Great on the Holy Spirit
by Bishop of Caesarea Basil
Healthy & Historical
St Basil the Great wrote his treatise On the Holy Spirit during the closing
phase of the Trinitarian controversies of the fourth century. The Arians had
previously denied the full divinity of the Son and the debate then turned to
the Holy Spirit. In this work, without explicitly calling the Spirit God, St Basil
demonstrates that He, like the Son, is of one and the same nature with the
Father, and that equal honor and worship therefore are due Him. This
classic exposition of Trinitarian doctrine eloquently sets forth the distinction
yet perpetual communion and conjunction of the divine Persons. At the
same time it deals with the nature of theological language and with the
theological significance of the Churchs tradition of worship and
proclamation. Its message, though specifically addressed to the fourth
century, speaks to all ages. On the Holy Spirit is part of the POPULAR
PATRISTIC SERIES.

Personal Review: St. Basil the Great on the Holy Spirit by
Bishop of Caesarea Basil
All too often we in the West tend to forget how influential Christianity has
been on shaping and forming our culture. In St. Basil's work on the Holy
Spirit we see how exacting the early Christian faith was in articulating its
beliefs. St. Basil the great is known in Orthodoxy and one of the fathers of
the Christian Church to bear the title, "Great." When you read this seminal
work you can feel the passion and intensity that St. Basil has when dealing
with the distortions to the faith. Yet, there is always a sense of hope,
humility, and compassion for those who were outside of the Orthodox
Church. Read this work and see how important a few little words are to the
Christian Faith.
