Abstract
Abstract not availableThis paper explores the presence and work of the Holy Spirit within the discipline and practice of engineering. It begins by examining theological perspectives from Zizioulas, Rahner, and Moltmann, highlighting how their views on the Spirit inform an engineer’s approach to design, ethics, and societal impact. The discussion then considers the Holy Spirit as Counselor, emphasizing His role in inspiring creativity, imparting knowledge, guiding decisions, and granting wisdom for complex trade-offs and moral dilemmas. Finally, the paper offers practical guidance for engineers seeking to live Spirit-filled lives through prayer, Scripture immersion, and discernment of God’s will in professional contexts. By integrating theology with engineering practice, this work argues that the Holy Spirit not only influences individual engineers but also shapes the broader vocation of engineering as a service-oriented, justice-driven, and life-affirming profession.
