The Spirit of God and Creation, under the sign of hope

This article discusses the Spirit of God in creation, based on the contents of the Judeo-Christian Revelation, considering the hope of “new heaven and new earth” (Rev 21:1). On the one hand, the attributes of Pneuma and His role in the divine work of creation are presented; on the other hand, on the other hand, the attributes and works of the Spirit are placed in light of the expectation for the God’s Kingdom fulfillment in the cosmos and in history. Thus, Pneumatology is read through the lens of theological hope, in times of challenges to faith and the future of life on Earth. In this approach, the verbs blow, vivify, console, strengthen, perfect and regenerate articulate Revelation and History, present and future of creation. In conclusion, three perspectives to develop the subject are suggested: deepen Pneumatology in connection with Christology, Grace and Eschatology; experience ecological conversion as a work of the Spirit; promote dialogue between Pneumatology and Natural Sciences, strengthening the ecological commitment to human and planetary life, in tune with the Creative Spirit
