Reading the Creed in the Light of Pentecost: An Eastern European Pneumatic Reflection

Abstract Reading the Creed through pneumatic lenses is essential for understanding both humanity's eschatological destiny in the likeness of the Trinity and the consistently triune economy of salvation. In light of this assertion, the essay highlights aspects of the Creed's explicit and implicit pneumatology, offering a reflection from an Eastern European pneumatic perspective on the triunity of God's work as creator, redeemer and sustainer/renewer of the cosmos, and on the church as the in‐Spirit‐ed communal body of Christ on earth. This reflection articulates a vision of Pentecost's Trinitarian theophany as a cosmic event that, since the beginning, has been the intended theotic telos of humanity and the rest of creation. The conclusion looks forward toward the Spirit's eschatological summoning of creation into the triune life and to the Eucharistic re‐envisioning of death in anticipation of the resurrection and life in the age to come.
