Pneumatological turn in modern theology and the problem of religious diversity

Annotation

The article analyzes the pnevmatological concepts of modern theologians J. Moltman, C. Pinnock, A. Jong and V.-M. Karkkainen, which emphasize the universal, dynamic, eschatological nature of the activity of the Holy Spirit. Thinkers emphasize the advantage of the pnevmatological approach in the theology of religions. According to them, the recognition of the presence of the Spirit in the world of religions contributes to the openness of Christianity towards other traditions.

Keywords
