Synopsis

Discover the transforming power of the Holy Spirit in your life.

In The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit, renowned evangelist and Bible teacher R. A. Torrey offers a deeply practical, Scripture-saturated guide to one of the most essential—yet misunderstood—members of the Trinity. With clarity, reverence, and spiritual warmth, Torrey reveals the Holy Spirit not as a vague force or distant power, but as a real person—a divine friend and helper who longs to dwell within every believer.

Through careful study and personal conviction, Torrey explains:

• Who the Holy Spirit is—and why knowing Him personally is essential

• The vital role of the Holy Spirit in conviction, regeneration, and sanctification

• What it means to be baptized with the Holy Spirit

• How the Spirit empowers effective prayer, victorious living, and fruitful ministry

• The Holy Spirit’s work in the world, the church, and the believer’s daily life

Far from dry theology, this book pulses with evangelical fervor, pastoral encouragement, and a call to seek the fullness of the Spirit. Torrey’s style is both profound and accessible, making this book ideal for seasoned Christians, new believers, pastors, and those hungry for a deeper spiritual walk.

Whether read devotionally or studied with intention, The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit will lead you into a greater awareness of God’s presence, a richer experience of His power, and a bolder faith in His promises.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Reuben Archer Torrey (1856-1928), was an American evangelist, pastor, educator, and writer. Torrey joined Dwight L. Moody in his evangelistic work in Chicago in 1889, and became superintendent of the Bible Institute of the Chicago Evangelization Society (now Moody Bible Institute). Five years later, he became pastor of the Chicago Avenue Church (now The Moody Church) in 1894. In 1898, Torrey served as a chaplain with the YMCA at Camp Chicamauga during the Spanish-American War. Later, during World War I, he performed similar service at Camp Bowie (a POW camp in Texas) and Camp Kearny. In 1902–1903, he preached in nearly every part of the English-speaking world and with song leader Charles McCallon Alexander conducted revival services in Great Britain from 1903 to 1905. During this period, he also visited China, Japan, Australia, and India. Torrey conducted a similar campaign in American and Canadian cities in 1906–1907. Throughout these campaigns, Torrey utilized a meeting style that he borrowed from Moody's campaigns of the 1870s. In 1907, he accepted an honorary doctorate from Wheaton College. In 1912, Torrey was persuaded to build another institution like Moody Bible Institute, and from 1912 to 1924, he served as Dean of Bible Institute of Los Angeles (now Biola University), also contributing to the BIOLA publication, The King's Business. In 1915, he also served as pastor of the Church of the Open Door, Los Angeles. Torrey was one of the three editors of The Fundamentals, the twelve-volume series that lent its name to what came to be called "fundamentalism". His last evangelistic meeting was in Florida in 1927. Future planned meetings were canceled because of his failing health. He died at home in Asheville, North Carolina, on October 26, 1928, having preached the world over and having left a legacy of over forty books. Torrey Auditorium, for decades the main auditorium at Moody Bible Institute, was named for him. At Biola, the Torrey Honors Institute honors him, as does the university's annual Bible conference.
