Abstract

The article revises the well-known thesis about the intensification of pneumatology in the different kinds of crisis in Christian history. A brief remembrance of the rise of systematic Christian pneumatology in Eastern patristic late antiquity recalls its contextual and plural dimension. Gregory of Nazianz’s trinitarian cosmology embeds pneumatology and vitalises his historic-soteriological doctrine of the Spirit as Giver of Life and its Liberator. The second section explores the present rich growth of eco-pneumatology with regard to three themes: diversity, animism and fetishism, and inhabitation. Finally the article offers a philosophical definition of the Spirit to fertilise further constructive dialogues about her work.
