De Spiritu Sancto

Chapter I

Prefatory remarks on the need of exact investigation of the most minute portions of theology

Chapter II

The origin of the heretics’ close observation of syllables

Chapter III

The systematic discussion of syllables is derived from heathen philosophy

Chapter IV

That there is no distinction in the scriptural use of these syllables

Chapter V

That “through whom” is said also in the case of the Father, and “of whom” in the case of the Son and of the Spirit

Chapter VI

Issue joined with those who assert that the Son is not with the Father, but after the Father. Also concerning the equal glory

Chapter VII

Against those who assert that it is not proper for “with whom” to be said of the Son, and that the proper phrase is “through whom.”

Chapter VIII

In how many ways “Throughwhom” is used; and in what sense “with whom” is more suitable. Explanation of how the Son receives a commandment, and how He is sent

Chapter IX

Definitive conceptions about the Spirit which conform to the teaching of the Scriptures

Chapter X

Against those who say that it is not right to rank the Holy Spirit with the Father and the Son

Chapter XI

That they who deny the Spirit are transgressors

Against those who assert that the baptism in the name of the Father alone is sufficient

Statement of the reason why in the writings of Paul the angels are associated with the Father and the Son

Chapter XIV

Objection that some were baptized unto Moses and believed in him, and an answer to it; with remarks upon types

Chapter XVI

That the Holy Spirit is in every conception inseparable from the Father and the Son, alike in the creation of perceptible objects, in the dispensation of human affairs, and in the judgment to come

Chapter XVII

Against those who say that the Holy Ghost is not to be numbered with, but numbered under, the Father and the Son. Wherein moreover there is a summary notice of the faith concerning right sub-numeration

Chapter XVIII

In what manner in the confession of the three hypostases we preserve the pious dogma of the Monarchia. Wherein also is the refutation of them that allege that the Spirit is subnumerated

Chapter XIX

Against those who assert that the Spirit ought not to be glorified

Chapter XX

Against those who maintain that the Spirit is in the rank neither of a servant nor of a master, but in that of the free

Chapter XXI

Proof from Scripture that the Spirit is called Lord

Chapter XXII

Establishment of the natural communion of the Spirit from His being, equally with the Father and the Son, unapproachable in thought

Chapter XXIII

The glorifying of the enumeration of His attributes

Chapter XXIV

Proof of the absurdity of the refusal to glorify the Spirit, from the comparison of things glorified in creation

Chapter XXV

That Scripture uses the words “in” or “by,” en, cf. note on p. 3, in place of “with.” Wherein also it is proved that the word “and” has the same force as “with.”

Chapter XXVI

That the word “in,” in as many senses as it bears, is understood of the Spirit

Chapter XXVII

Of the origin of the word “with,” and what force it has. Also concerning the unwritten laws of the church
