Pre-order my novel, The Long Road to Holy Island: https://amzn.to/4sISAC9 If you look for prayers to the Holy Spirit in the Bible, you won't find them. Nor will you find many in the first 300 years of church history. So is that case closed? Or can we make a case for why Christians can pray directly to the Holy Spirit? As we'll see, part of the answer to that question depends upon your view of development in Christian theology and practice.
