Nauka o Duchu Świętym w „Pasterzu” Hermasa na tle problematyki pneumatologicznej
A Study of the Holy Spirit in the Shepherd of Hermas in the Context of Pneumatological Problems (Introduction)

Summary/Abstract: The goal of this article is to show the complexity of the spiritual world and the world of spirits and how ancient generations of people from three different civilizations and cultures, Semitic, Hellenistic and Latin, dealt with it. This also applies to the understanding of the Holy Spirit, especially in the first two centuries. From this background, comments are made about the views of the Shepherd of Hermas, whose pneumatology, however simple, combines the three worlds, because the author of the work came from Judaism, wrote his thoughts in Greek and did it in Rome. The Shepherd is a great testimony of Christians in the first centuries, showing how the Holy Spirit who, being God, shows his great gentleness towards sinful man and enables him to return to God, but at the same time respects his free choices.
