The Ministry of the Spirit

In this book the author emphasizes and magnifies the great truth that the Holy Spirit is now present in the church: that we are now living in the dispensation of the Spirit, with all the unspeakable blessings for the church and for the world which this economy provides.

Adoniram Judson (A. J.) Gordon (1836?1895) came to prominence as the evangelical pastor of Clarendon Street Baptist Church in Boston. During his 25 years of tenure there, he saw a complete transformation of the church, with an unsurpassed effort in missions. A missionary training school and publishing house were associated with the church, and Gordon preached at many of D. L. Moody?s Northfield Conferences. His training school eventually became Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, in South Hamilton, Massachusetts. He also founded Gordon College, in Wenham, Massachusetts.
