A controvérsia sobre a divindade do Espírito Santo no século IV (d.C.)

Abstract

The controversy about the divinity of the Holy Spirit was one of the theological conflicts, among several, that occurred in the fourth century (AD). This controversy and Arianism are the highlights, in a context of great theological and political conflicts and instability due to the Roman Empire: its rise and imminent decline. In this context develops the controversy over the divinity of the Spirit, the theme of our work. This paper will address this controversy, and the actors involved, and the outbreak of the council convened, especially in reaction to the theological controversies of the time, but mostly because of the controversy about the divinity of the Holy Spirit.
