The 2023 Edinburgh Dogmatics Conference focused on the theme of ""The Holy Spirit and the Church."" It is tempting to observe that these are both unusual topics for a conference in the Reformed theological tradition. In recent generations Reformed theology has a reputation of ignoring both. That is not true of the deeper tradition of Reformed theology, which has had a robust account of the work of the Spirit and high ecclesiology. The papers at the conference returned to those themes recovering some of the riches of older theology and also exploring the challenges and implications for the faith in the twenty-first century. Each chapter was given as a paper at the conference. They retain something of the directness of papers that were read to an audience.

Reviews for The Holy Spirit and the Church: Papers from the Edinburgh Dogmatics Conference 2023

""A rich and accessible collection of essays, this volume gathers exegetical, theological, and pastoral reflections on the significance of the church. In addressing ecclesial failure with a robust account of the Spirit, the essayists offer a sober but hopeful range of insights for the life of the church in the contemporary world."" --David Fergusson, Regius Professor of Divinity, University of Cambridge
