In light of the new translation of Athanasius's and Didymus's
pneumatological treatises by Mark DelCogliano, Andrew Radde-Gallwitz,
and Lewis Ayres, and also Matthew R. Crawford's recent study of Cyril's
exegesis and its Trinitarian character and emphasis, it is appropriate
to investigate further the attitude of these writers toward the role of
the Spirit in the development of Scripture. In fact, all three of these
writers do not just see the Spirit as "inspiring" the Scripture in an
indirect way, but rather that the Spirit is at least somewhat more
directly involved in actively speaking some words of Scripture. One of
the places that all agree that the Spirit speaks is in the book of
Psalms. In this short communication we will discover examples and
patterns of this type of speech and also consider reasons why the
writers in question might have ascribed lines from the Psalms to the
Spirit's voice.
