The Holy Spirit

Yves Congar offers a historical analysis of the theology of the Holy Spirit from the revelation in the biblical writings to the Second Vatican Council, through the two millennia of Christianity. All this with a serious and solidly founded study of this great theologian of Vatican II that analyzes the function of the Spirit in the Christian sacraments with special emphasis on confirmation and Eucharistic communion.

All this with a serious and solidly founded study of this great theologian of Vatican II that analyzes the function of the Spirit in the Christian sacraments with special emphasis on confirmation and Eucharistic communion. Congar pauses to explain the duality of tradition existing between East and West. It is, on the one hand, the problem of the procession of the Holy Spirit from the Father and the Son and, on the other, the role of the Spirit in the sacraments, especially in the Eucharist. Two different traditions, each with its reasons, but fundamentally the same faith and a homogeneous spiritual experience.
