This analysis explores the significant role of the Holy Spirit as presented in Luke and Acts. Joseph Covello, Ashlee Taylor, and Jessica Ontiveros highlight three stages: the Age of Promise, where the Spirit identifies Jesus as the Savior; the Time of Jesus, where He performs miracles and teaches through Spirit guidance; and the Age of the Church, where apostles like Peter and Paul spread the Gospel. The Holy Spirit’s influence is emphasized throughout, including key moments in Jesus' life and ministry, and the early Church's growth, underlining the Spirit’s empowering presence from the beginning to the Apostolic age.
