In the Nicene Creed, the Holy Spirit is called, "the Lord and giver of life," but how can the Spirit and the Son both be called Lord? What does it mean that the Spirit "proceeds" from the Father and Son? Joshua and Caleb explore these questions and how they're answered in the writings of Basil the Great.
