Pneumatology refers to a particular discipline within

sanctification, the inspiration of prophets, and the indwelling of the Holy Trinity (which in itself covers many different aspects). Different Christian denominations
have different theological approaches on various pneumatological questions.

Development

History of Christian theology is traditionally divided into four main stages, representing also the main periods in historical development of Christian pneumatology:

  1. .
  2. " clause to the Creed (the Spirit proceeds from the Father "and the Son").
  3. Counter-reformation. Here the relationship between the Spirit and the Scriptures is re-examined. Martin Luther and John Calvin
    hold that the Spirit has a certain "interpretive authority" to "illuminate" scripture, while Counter-reformation theologians respond that the Spirit has authorized the Church to serve as authoritative interpreter of Scripture.
  4. Contemporary era. The contemporary church understands a distinctive relationship between the Spirit and the Church community. Various contemporary theologians grant the Spirit as authority to govern the church, to liberate oppressed communities, and to create experiences associated with faith. Contemporary pneumatology is often marked by the
    Pentecostal
    Movement.
