Onde está o espírito do senhor ali reina a liberdade : fundamentação pneumatológica e trinitária da liberdade em Jürgen Moltmann

Abstract

In this research paper, the theme to be approached is freedom. It will be covered in different aspects, since the view in the society, in different history times, passing by biblical dimension, to culminate in Christian understanding. This last one is the great interest from this development, because it is it the truth and authentic human freedom. The release of the human being is only possible and complete through the Christian perspective, for both it is necessary to look with affection to the person Jesus, the greatest reference of freedom to men and women. He becomes a model in the moment that He lets to be guided by the Spirit of God, i.e., the Holy Ghost. We contemplated many authors, but the centrality is in theologian Jürgen Moltmann, that has a theology deeply imbued in the spirit, mainly in the book The Life s Spirit: a full pneumatology (O Espírito da Vida: uma pneumatologia integral). In this work he highlights the vitality that the spirit brings to the person, becoming him or her able to live his or her freedom, letting to be a slave and making him or her free in all its fullness. The three freedoms quoted and understood by Moltmann are defined as: free domain, communion and future. The first one, according to him, own from the bourgeois world; the second one in the construction of a fraternal society, in which we are all siblings and as such a living for others. However, the fullness exists, according to the author, in the future, where we book the real human freedom, it is the Sky Kingdom, in which the humanity lives what Jesus lived, in other words, the resurrection experience, the definite victory from good above evil, from life to death. All of this as a work from the Holy Ghost, the spirit of God, that makes the humanity live to freedom and not more to slavery, as stated in Gálagas 5,1: it was for freedom that Christ set us free , or as suggested in this work title, from Letter of Paul to the Corinthians: where the Spirit of God is, there reigns freedom.
