218 The Person of the Son The investigation of the names Word, Son, and Image has reached its goal: to show the personal property which distinguishes and constitutes the person of the Son, and by the same token to illuminate the action of the Son in the economy of creation and salvation. Once it had taken hold in the Summa Contra Gentiles, it is this original idea of the Word which, from beginning to end, oVers the best way of understanding the person and work of the Son.
10 The Person of the Holy Spirit The Summa follows up its reXection on the personal properties of Father and Son with three questions on the Holy Spirit (qq. 36–38). The way we brought things into focus in introducing the two earlier chapters also applies in reference to the Holy Spirit. In the Wrst place, one must appreciate that the Spirit is present within the treatise from the Wrst question to the last. Questions 36–38, dedicated to the person of the Holy Spirit, ‘taken in a special way’, are a narrower examination of his personal property. To grasp what Thomas is aiming at, one has to read the questions in the context of the Trinitarian treatise. In the second place, the central aim of this enquiry is to elucidate what belongs eternally to the Holy Spirit, in the immanence of the Trinity, but to do so in a way that provides the foundation for understanding his action in creation and salvation. Here perhaps more than elsewhere, theology is closely linked to the economy, because the Spirit is at the source of Christian life and of ecclesial unity. The study of the Holy Spirit will show that the ground of Christian existence, and the bond of believers, lives in the Charity who proceeds from the Father and the Son. Thirdly, as with the Father and the Son, the way of tackling the investigation into the Holy Spirit is to consider the orientation of the names which we give to him. So it comes down to disclosing the personal property of the Holy Spirit as it is expressed through the names which genuinely address him. Such an investigation engages the numerous themes and diverse names through which Scripture and the tradition have indicated the Holy Spirit: Spirit (Spirit of holiness, Spirit of God, Spirit of Christ, Spirit of the Promise, and so forth), Paraclete, Unction, Gift, Pledge of our inheritance, and more. How should one frame these themes for one’s research? Especially in the way it had been drawn together by Peter Lombard, the medieval Augustinian tradition focused on three particular aspects: Holy Spirit, Love, and Gift.1 Thomas examines these and shows that a theologian can use them to structure his pneumatological meditations. They enable one to give an account of the property personal to the Holy Spirit, explain the Holy Spirit’s other 1 See Peter Lombard, Sentences, Book I, dist. 10–18 and 31–32.
