The Rev. Dr. Cheryl M. Peterson

The Rev. Dr. Cheryl M. Peterson is Academic Dean and Professor of Ecumenical Theology at Wartburg Theological Seminary in Dubuque, Iowa, a seminary of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. An ordained pastor in the ELCA, she served congregations in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin before joining the faculty of Trinity Lutheran Seminary at Capital University in Columbus Ohio, where she taught systematic theology for 18 years before becoming the dean at Wartburg.

The Holy Spirit in the Christian Life

The Holy Spirit in the Christian Life offers a brief account of the doctrine of the Holy Spirit, focusing specifically on the question of the person and work of the Spirit in the Christian life.
Lutheran theologian Cheryl Peterson identifies three key movements of the Christian life, showing the Spirit's role in each: justification (God the Holy Spirit working for us), sanctification (God the Holy Spirit working in us), and mission (God the Holy Spirit working through us). Peterson explores scriptural and doctrinal perspectives on the person and work of the Holy Spirit--especially from churches with Reformation roots--in view of contemporary spiritual movements, including the spiritual-but-not-religious and the Pentecostal and charismatic movements. In addition, she explores the means of the Spirit's work through Word, sacrament, and spiritual gifts.
This book offers a fresh look at the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the church today. It is ideal for seminarians and working pastors.
Copies of Dr. Peterson's book will be available through registration. The deadline for ordering a copy is September 30, 2024.
