RESUMO

ABSTRACT The new, pneumatic, person is central to Pavel N. Evdokimov’s (1901-1970) theological work. He argues that the Holy Spirit’s action is not understandable with an exclusively objective analysis of God’s action in relationship to humanity. Rather, the human person welcomes the gifts of the Holy Spirit within a double movement: the first phase is that of conversion and struggle, after which there is a phase of generous asceticism that springs forth from having welcomed the Holy Spirit’s gifts. In sanctifying us, the Holy Spirit communicates something that is proper to the Spirit’s nature, enabling us to complete the Father’s will. The Holy Spirit imparts to us His life-giving breath so that, without confusion, the Holy Spirit becomes co-subject of our life in Christ. The human person who has received this new life becomes an image of Christ in the world, breathing with his very breath, living his very life.
