ABSTRACT
This chapter reviews pneumatology as ecological soteriology and explores the Spirit as a giver and liberator of life. Rather than a diffuse power or energy of the Father and the Son, to interpret the work of Sister Spirit on Earth as an all-embracing space and a liberation movement at specific times and places. The chapter suggests that the doctrine of the Spirit may be reinterpreted in the context of the spatial turn of theology in terms of faith in the Spirit's inhabitation. The faith in the Holy Spirit as life-giver then appears naturally in the horizon of perceiving the environment as an animated biography and topography, created, inhabited, and perfected by the Triune Creator. The chapter offers a longer argument for an ecological pneumatology in synergy with animism, an approach that investigates the critical potentials of resisting and overcoming the fetishism of late modern capitalism.
