Guys, can you suggest what are some good resources to consult on the Reformed doctrine of Pneumatology (doctrine of the Holy Spirit)? Perhaps also some resource which contrast this with the Pentecostal view? Thanks!
Although he's Anglican, Packer's view aligns pretty well with the Reformed view:
Keep in Step with the Spirit: Finding Fullness in Our Walk with God by J. I. Packer
He also discusses Holiness and Charismatic teachings.
This would be a challenge, since there are multiple of expressions of Pneumatology in both the Reformed and Pentecostal camps. Further the two camps don't understand each other very well and tend to caricature each other as they discuss their differences.
Louis Berkhof's Systematic Theology doesn't even have a section on Pneumatology [sigh of frustration]
Strong's Systematic Theology does, but it's not a thorough-going Pneumatology either.
Kuper's The Work of the Holy Spirit is an entire book devoted to Pneumatology and it's worth looking at (IMHO). Still this book doesn't directly address the differences between the two camps.
As one who grew up in this branch of Christianity I'll share the following as background as you explore:
The main historic difference is that the Reformers were cessationists (with regard to the gifts of the Spirit and miracles), and Pentecostals aren't. Interestingly, this is often more an assumption by the Reformers than a well articulated Biblical conclusion. So it's difficult to nail this one down too.
Once we get to that place in history where Pentecostals begin to make their mark, there is some reactionary stuff (sorry, nothing specific comes to mind at the moment), but since it's reactionary, it's not very helpful.
The contemporary stuff from a Reformed perspective is all over the map, from rabid cessationist, to full-on embrace of just about anything found in Pentecostal pneumatology (apart from obvious extremes, of course). Whatever differences remain tend to focus on the corporate and communal (i.e., covenantal) nature of God's work, which (IMHO) has as much to do with the US individualism as any theological presupposition.
The basic difference (IMHO) is that the Reformed movement (historically) has tended to focus on the saving and sanctifying work of the Spirit in both the Church (and her mission) and the individual, whereas the Pentecostal movement has tended to focus more on the empowering work of the Spirit in the individual and the mission of the Church. (We'd have to talk about differences in ecclesiology as well to tease out all the subtleties).
I haven't done much reading on the subject but I think if I were, I would start with John Owen.
I agree with this entirely. The link, by the way, is here,

You may also wish to consider the following,
D.A. Carson, Showing the Spirit: A Theological Exposition of 1 Corinthians 12-14
Wayne Grudem, Systematic Theology: An Introduction to Biblical Doctrine (which contains a reasonable treatment of pneumatology from a Reformed perspective). Although not in Logos, The Gift of Prophecy in the New Testament and Today allows for greater focus and provides greater insight in terms of Grudem's position (notwithstanding that the study is narrow, as implied by the title)
James M. Hamilton, Jr, God's Indwelling Presence: The Holy Spirit in the Old and New Testament
R.C. Sproul, The Mystery of the Holy Spirit (a very light introduction/devotional, in my opinion)
I mention, with some reluctance, John MacArthur, Strange Fire: The Danger of Offending the Holy Spirit with Counterfeit Worship. I personally find this to be unconvincing (if not downright infuriating), but it is influential within some Reformed circles and, as such, probably cannot be ignored.
I am not sure that the below fit entirely in the reformed camp, but I personally found them helpful/interesting,
Francis Chan, The Forgotten God: Reversing Our Tragic Neglect of the Holy Spirit
Gordon Fee, God's Empowering Presence (I understand that Fee is from a Pentecostal background. Regardless, this is a splendid book.)
Finally, this may also be of some interest (I found it moderately helpful given the confines of the format of this series),
Various, Perspectives on Spirit Baptism: Five Views
