The Intelligence of the Spirit in the Old Testament

Abstract

Pneumatology has been the subject of discussion of her activities in the Old Testament. The personality of the Spirit is one of the controversial discussions where she is simply considered a power or energy of God. Intelligence, however, is regarded as one of the attributes of a personal being. This treatise aims to explore the intelligence of the Spirit in the Old Testaments books where the Spirit potentially testifies of wisdom, knowledge, and counsel in the sense of fatherhood, jurisprudence intelligence in political activity, and governmental nature.
