Synopsis of Moral Humana y Misterio Pascual (Human Morals and Paschal Mystery)

The paschal mystery of Jesus of Nazareth is the source from which the whole Christian life flows. In the supreme moment of his earthly existence, the Only Begotten of the Father and Firstborn of many brothers reveals the fullness of his action: the filial form of man's moral action, manifested by his death on the cross and his trusting expectation of the paternal response. The Son of the Father redeems humanity and recapitulates all of history through hope. He thus offers each person the core topic deepest reading of the peculiar temporal structure of his being: to be able to act theologically. Hope is the virtue that articulates filial faith and charity, allowing the partnership of human action with divine action.

Starting from the fundamental Christological datum, the author exposes in this work his vision staff of the synergy between God and man in which, in the last analysis, morality consists. The presence of Christ in the believer's reason internship , enabled by the Holy Spirit, determines the hopeful action of the children in the Son: an action that respects moral absolutes, as the foundation of their openness to providence, and is capable of generating communion in the world.

Synopsis of The Holy Spirit: from divinity to procession

The great development of the theology of the Holy Spirit took place in the fourth century in the East, and was led by St. Basil of Caesarea, St. Gregory of Nazianzus and St. Gregory of Nyssa. They were the ones who, in the face of the currents that denied the divinity of the Son and the Spirit, built a Trinitarian and pneumatological theology that allowed the affirmation final of the Trinity staff in the Unity of God. Their deepening of the theology of the Holy Spirit progressively gives a reason for his "divinity", and then moves on to the consideration of his "procession" and his "theology". His contribution is so important that it can be taken as an authentic background of the teaching of the First Council of Constantinople (381) and as a leaven of the further developments of pneumatology that reach up to our days.

Miguel Brugarolas presents in this work what these three Fathers of the Church believed, thought and said about the Holy Spirit and his place within the Trinity, uniting the historical research with the analysis of the coherence of their thought, of the theological akolouthía to which they gave so much importance. The author thus offers a study of the pneumatology of the fourth century Greek beginning with St. Basil and the first treatise on the Holy Spirit, up to the richest and most finished formulation of pneumatology, sealed by St. Gregory of Nyssa.
