About this course

This course is free because of the generosity of our Vision Partners.

The Holy Spirit is fully God and fully personal and is the third member of the Triune God. In this course, Dr. Joel Muddamalle explores who the Holy Spirit is and what he does. He’ll cover the ontological status of the Godhead and the distinction and personhood of the Holy Spirit. He’ll also explain how the Holy Spirit enables worship of God, is the source of spiritual life, reveals the will and mystery of God, and conforms us to the image of Christ. By the end, you’ll walk away with a deep understanding of the importance of studying and learning about the Holy Spirit, as Jesus said it was necessary for Him to leave so the Spirit would come.
