Pneumatology occupies an important place in Gregory of Nyssa’s theology, not only because the faith in the divinity of the Holy Spirit is one of the fundamental dogmas of the Trinitarian faith, but also due to the particular circumstances of Gregory’s time and especially because of his debate with Eunomius. This article, presented originally in the 6th International Colloquium on Gregory of Nyssa and now re-edited, examines the Pneumatology of Contra Eunomium I centered on the idea that the Holy Spirit, just like the Son, does not belong to the sphere of created nature, but is uncreated. The texts of CE I show that Gregory’s Pneumatology stresses, more than that of Basil, the incomprehensibility of God and the unity of operation of the three Persons of the Trinity as well as their common energy. Lastly, this article analyzes the debate on Gregory’s theology concerning the procession of the Holy Spirit.
