Collection: January 2024 Tabletalk

The January 2024 issue of Tabletalk will provide an essential overview of the biblical and creedal teaching on the person and work of God the Holy Spirit. Modern Christians are apt to make two errors when it comes to the third person of the Trinity. On the one hand, we can underemphasize His person and work, developing an understanding of doctrine and the Christian life that neglects important aspects of the Holy Spirit or ignores Him altogether in favor of other things. On the other hand, we can emphasize the Spirit in appropriately, stressing some parts of His work at the expense of others or looking for manifestations of the Spirit not spoken of in Scripture. Moreover, many understandings of the Spirit forget His personhood, seeing Him more as an impersonal force than a divine person who has existed in loving fellowship with the Father and Son from all eternity, sharing fully in the one divine essence. This issue will seek to help readers develop a more holistically biblical view of the Holy Spirit and His critical work in history and salvation.
