Goodwin wrote at length about the Holy Spirit. Volume Six includes his writings on the work of the Holy Spirit in salvation, the connection between the person of the Spirit and the person of Jesus, and the role of the Spirit in both conversion and sanctification. Goodwin’s works on the Holy Spirit are interspersed with key biblical texts on the Spirit, as well as the theological controversies about the doctrine of the Trinity. About Thomas Goodwin Thomas Goodwin&nbsp;was born in Norfolk in England on October 5, 1600 as the oldest son of Richard and Catherine Goodwin. At the age of six, Goodwin, in his own words, “began to have some slighter workings of the Holy Spirit.” He attended Christ’s College in Cambridge, and was ordained as a preacher in 1625 and as a lecturer at Trinity Church in 1633. In 1634, he resigned and in 1639 was forced to flee to the Netherlands to escape persecution. After Goodwin returned to England, he became a member of the Westminster Assembly, and frequently preached in Parliament. In 1656, he also became chaplain to Oliver Cromwell. Along with John Owen, Thomas Goodwin was instrumental in writing the Westminster Confession of 1658. In 1660, Goodwin returned to London and served as pastor of Fetter Lane Independent Church, where he remained until his death in 1680.
