A. W. Pink's The Holy Spirit

Great exposition. There is so much insight about the work, attributes and role of the Holy Spirit that this book is not a quick read. It requires study to get the most out of it. Also, it is a book you can read and then re-read again and again.

The Holy Spirit 'of God'

Pink's work on the Holy Spirit is one of his lesser known works on major Christian doctrines. It was first in print as a series of articles in the monthly magazine 'Studies in the Scriptures'from 1935-1937. The 'Studies..' were began in 1922,a joint venture of A.W.Pink and I.C.Herendeen. The 'Holy Spirit'was first published in book form in 1970 some 18 years after Pink's death. At times it has been out of print for years at a time. The ministry of Chapel Library in Pensacola Florida uses it as a study guide for those interested in their study by mail courses. Why this book is somewhat undervalued of Pink's major doctrinal studies remains a mystery to me. The chapter titles which list the work of the Spirit are so helpful in identifying the various ministries of the Holy Spirit's work in the lives of God's people. Afew that I would like to mention are:The Holy Spirit regenerating,The Spirit convicting,the Spirit working faith,the Spirit uniting to Christ,the Spirit assuring and the Spirit leading. Simply listing the 22 chapter titles on various aspects of the work of the Holy Spirit of God is a lesson itself. The person and work of the Holy Spirit is where there is as much divergence in Christendom, as there is with any other major Christian teaching. As is characteristic of almost anything that came from Pink's pen there is a plethora of insights and riches that have been mined from the Word of God. An outstanding example is on p.31 "Hence,from the first entrance of sin,there were two great heads to the promises which God gave His people:the sending of His Son to obey and die,the sending of His Spirit to make effectual the fruits of the former."A.W.Pinks work on the Holy Spirit is without a doubt one of the great works ever penned on the third person of the Triune God.
