Studia Theologica No. I (XIII) / 2022 The Pneumatological Teaching of Saint Symeon the New Theologian Rev. Dr. Mercurie-Daniel Apostol

Saint Symeon the New Theologian’s theology of the Holy Spirit is presented in close connection with the Father and the Son, emphasising the unity and inseparability of the Persons of the Holy Trinity. Through images such as the key in Catechesis 33, the wine in Catechesis 23 and the divine seed, Saint Symeon demonstrates that the grace of the Holy Spirit is essential for purification, deification and the conscious perception of the divine presence in the human soul.

The article examines how Origen integrates this soteriological theme into a rich patristic tradition, demonstrating that Christ is the fullness of all goodness, and that man shares in this goodness through grace, repentance and life in the Holy Spirit.
