Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Witness of the Spirit is a clear and comprehensive treatment of the teaching of the Word of God concerning the inner witness of the Spirit of God. The book opens with an account of Calvin's and Luther's contribution to this important theme, followed by a survey of the theological reflection upon this subject from the days of the early Church Fathers to the present time. Dr. Ramm shows that the work of the Holy Spirit is not a single subject to be discussed in isolation from the total area of Christian theology; therefore, he helpfully relates it to the doctrine of the Trinity, of revelation, redemption, and the Scripture; and to Christian fellowship and the spiritual life. Dr. Ramm's book is an invaluable and much needed contribution to a phase of the Spirit's ministry, an aspect long neglected in evangelical thought.
