This course focuses on the Biblical concept of the Holy Spirit and its consequent doctrinal development within the Catholic Church. Particularly considered are the heresies, the counter-doctrinal statements of the Magisterium, the writings of the Fathers and in particular the consideration of the Holy Spirit in the writings of St. Thomas Aquinas. Likewise considered is the development of the pneumatological doctrine over the centuries with a particular emphasis on modern concepts.
