Book Of Saint Basil On The Spirit

Book of Saint Basil On the Spirit

by Basil of Caesarea

Basil of Caesarea's 'On the Spirit' is a theological treatise written in 374 AD at the request of Amphilochius of Iconium. The work addresses the Arian heresy, which denied the full divinity of the Holy Spirit. Basil argues for the consubstantiality and co-eternity of the Holy Spirit with the Father and the Son, drawing on both Scripture and tradition. 'On the Spirit' was influential in shaping the Nicene Creed and remains an important text in Eastern Orthodox theology.
