Teresa of Avila, the Holy Spirit, and the Place of Salvation

Andre Brouillette, SJ, explores of the role of the third Person of the Trinity in the works of Teresa of Avila, and its influence on pneumatology, the theological study of the Holy Spirit.

Led by the Spirit, Teresa shows humanity and the church which salvation looks like. This theological reflection sits at the intersection of God's action in the Spirit and a salvation welcomed and made fruitful. What is salvation? What role does the Spirit play in God's saving work? These questions are at the heart of the singular experience of Saint Teresa of Avila.
