SEI Short Course: on the Holy Spirit within the Trinity
The latest in the series of online short courses provided by the Scottish Episcopal Institute looks at the Holy Spirit within the Trinity, and is led by Anna-Claar Thomasson-Rosingh, Director of Studies at the Institute.
The course is made up of three roughly thirty-minute video’s with questions for reflection or discussion. We will explore our theology of the Holy Spirit; we will study pneumatology, which is the official theological term for talking of the Holy Spirit.
30 September Doctrine and Ethics
In the third session we will explore the pneumatology of St. Basil the Great from 4th century Cappadocia. He was part of a bitter dispute about the role of the Holy Spirit within the Trinity. His voice within that 4th century debate has determined the clause about the Holy Spirit in (what is known to us as) the Nicaean Creed and therefore influenced our thinking about the Spirit significantly. We will also think together about what influence these ideas of the Spirit might have on our behaviour. What does all this mean for how we live our lives.
