Burgess examines medieval Roman Catholic and Reformation attitudes toward the Holy Spirit beginning with the writings of medieval Catholic theologians from Gregory the Great to Aquinas. Subsequent sections describe the contributions of influential women; fringe figures; magisterial reformers Luther, Zwingli, and Calvin; leading Catholic reformers such as Ignatius of Loyola; the radical reformers Thomas Muntzer and Menno Simons, and others.
"The Holy Spirit: Medieval Roman Catholic and Reformation Traditions (Sixth-Sixteenth Centuries)" is the third in a series of three volumes devoted to the history of Christian pneumatology.
