The pneumatic-trinitarian anthropology of J. Moltmann

Resumo

This contribution aims, through a study of the works of the Lutheran theologian
J. Moltmann, to make a contribution to the field of Trinitarian anthropology, which has been developing in recent years. Starting from the Moltmannian Trinity, whose contribution is indisputable for the theology of our century, the article highlights its reflection in the author’s theological anthropology. It thus highlights the Trinitarian rhythm of the relationship between person and human community; the principle of solidarity between people, which finds its ultimate foundation in the pneumatological-trinitarian communion; and a new definition of the human person, which has in the divine Hypostasis its prototype, and, in the Pneuma, its constitution. In this way, the article highlights the singular contribution, especially in its pneumatological-trinitarian dimension, that Moltmann makes to the anthropology outlined in a Trinitarian key.
