Ray Picket Sessions 1-4 April 2017

April 7/8 Ray Picket/Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you” (Acts 1:8): How is the Spirit at Work in the World Today?

Acts tells the story of the continuation of Jesus’ ministry through his followers who have been filled and empowered by the Spirit. Acts has sometimes been called the gospel of the Spirit because it features transformational experiences prompted by the Spirit. In this session we will explore various interpretations of the work of the Spirit in Acts from a variety of cultural and theological perspectives.
