Is hard to understand what it is to be the Holy Spirit already for many Christians. Conversely, can in some, such as free churches, denominations or esoteric milieu observe excessive and often indiscriminate use of the term "Holy Spirit". To eliminate the expression nor add a new arbitrariness, Ohly Luke describes the speech of the Holy Spirit in relation to human experience. For this purpose, he selects a phenomenological approach and defined the Holy Spirit as a present phenomenon. For his presence is characteristic that it is also demonstrated by absent things or people. Presence is not reducible to objectivity. Approximately at mourners shows that the absent can be particularly intrusive. Presence thus appears to be a dynamic process, where people can not escape when it occurs. Ohly declares that this phenomenon will appear in the presence of the classical sub-themes of pneumatology. To this end, the concept of faith is further interpreted as loyalty: The justification of the sinner is made solely out of "loyalty", namely in respect to the presence of situations in which people find. This loyalty proves the ratio of Christians to each other as mutual recognition. About this way criteria are derived to reflect current issues of inter-religious ecumenism and church membership critical.

"The 4th-century teacher, Didymus the Blind, enjoyed a fruitful life as head of an episcopally-sanctioned school in Alexandria. Author of numerous dogmatic treatises and exegetical works, Didymus was considered a stalwart defender of the Nicene faith in his heyday. He duly attracted the likes of Jerome and Rufinus to his school. Contemporary scholarship has focused most of its attention on understanding him as an exegete, especially focusing on his exegetical vocabulary and the driving assumptions behind his particular method of reading Scripture. The theological literature has been somewhat neglected. In this study, Jonathan Hicks makes the claim that Didymus’s exegesis can only be understood in all its fullness in light of his theological commitments. His acute differences with Theodore of Mopsuestia on the proper reading of the prophet Zechariah cannot be understood as merely methodological. Animating Didymus’s reading of the prophet is a lively understanding of Trinitarian missions. Recognizing the comings of the Son and the Spirit to Israel is essential in locating the prophet’s message properly within the one divine economy of revelation and salvation that culminates in the Incarnation of Christ. Hicks argues that Didymus is instructive here for today’s Church both on the level of praxis (we should adopt some of his reading practices) and on the level of theoria (his Trinitarian account of Scripture’s origin and ends is fundamental to a fully Christian understanding of what Scripture is)."
