Titles of the Holy Spirit
I am seized with dread when I think of the abundance of titles for the Holy Spirit. He is called the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Christ, the Mind of Christ, the Spirit of the Lord, and himself the Lord, the Spirit of Adoption, of Truth, and Liberty. The Creator-Spirit, who by baptism and by resurrection creates anew; the Spirit who knows all things, who teaches, who blows where and to what extent he chooses. Who reveals, gives light, quickens, or rather is the very Light and Life. Who makes temples, who deifies. Who perfects so as even to anticipate baptism, yet after baptism is to be sought as a separate gift. Who does all things that God does. Who was divided into fiery tongues and who divides gifts, making Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, and Teachers.
Gregory Nazianzus, from Orations
Gregory of Nazianzus (c. 329 – 390), also known as Gregory the Theologian or Gregory Nazianzen, was a 4th-century Archbishop of Constantinople. He is widely considered the most accomplished rhetorical stylist of the patristic age. Gregory made a significant impact on the shape of Trinitarian theology among both Greek- and Latin-speaking theologians, and he is remembered as the “Trinitarian Theologian.” Much of his theological work continues to influence modern theologians, especially in regard to the relationship among the three Persons of the Trinity. Along with the brothers Basil the Great and Gregory of Nyssa, he is known as one of the Cappadocian Fathers.
