Abstract
This paper consists of three consecutive articles, which will be published in order in successive issues. It examines the experiences of the Holy Spirit in the development of spiritual life and Christian doctrine. It is an attempt by a contemporary Pentecostal reader to appreciate and understand the writings of the Early Church Fathers', paying special attention to the spiritual experience and emotional outpouring expressed in their teaching. Dealing with three representatives of the Eastern Church: Gregory the Theologian (part 1), Isaac the Syrian (part 2) and Simeon the New Theologian (part 3) it addresses the questions that arise as ‘enthusiastic Christianity’ in modern Russia seeks its roots.
