Pneumatologi Persatuan Jiwa dengan Kristus: Kajian Buku Gregorius Nissa Homili tentang Kidung Agung

Abstrak

Homilies on the Song of Songs, a christocentric work by St. Gregory of Nyssa, is very special for its richness seen from the perspective of the Christian doctrine in spirituality. Treating the christian soul as the bride and Christ as the Bridegroom, it reveals the way for the soul to arrive in the spousal union with God. While this book is very christocentric, this study wants to investigate its pneumatological elements. It is supposed that a spiritual union with Christ should be a trinitarian one and, thus, pneumatological one, as well. Such a supposition is affirmed by the fact that the writer of this hermeneutical work on the sapiential literature is a leading Father in the affirmation of the doctrine of the Trinity in the Patristic Era.
