The Holy Spirit in the pauline epistles
Keywords:
Holy Spirit, πνεūμα, Paul, Biblical Theology, Epistles of PaulAbstract
This article aims to research about the Holy Spirit in the books of Paul,
discussing one of the most challenging subjects of his theological thought. Some researchers even say that the pneumatology of Paul should be considered the central aspect of his theology. The objective of this preliminary study is only to introduce this vast theme about the use of the word πνευμα in the epistles of Paul and also to interpret the most relevant theological affirmations about the Holy Spirit.
