Resumen:
The present essay tries to find an interface between the Pentecostal theology and the
Systematic Theology of Paul Tillich having as its axis a reading of the Holy Spirit. This
reading is delimited from the Holy Spirit comprehension in the theological formation of the
Assembly of God (AG) in Brazil and in the Systematic Theology of Paul Tillich. It is
recognized that the AG is the most numerical Pentecostal expression in Brazil and that the
Holy Spirit theme is an integrated part of its speech as a Pentecostal denomination. Therefore,
this research tries to identify the concept of Spirit in the history and theology of the Brazilian
AG. From this identification an interface with the theological system of Tillich about the Holy
Spirit is proposed, in its Systematic theology, dedicates more than one third of its construction
to questions linked to the Spirit thematic. The interface between the Pentecostal theology and
Tillich then opens the way to a dialogue and the construction of a "Spirit hermeutics". This
research shows its theoretical content in three chapters: 1) "All are full of the Holy Spirit [ ]:
the Spirit in the life and theology of Paul Tillich; a reading of the biography and theology of
Paul Tillich having the Holy Spirit as its semantic axis. In this reading there is a prominence
of the sense of dimension of the Spirit and ecstasies as an impact of the Spiritual Presence. 2)
"[ ] and they start to speak in other languages [ ]": The God's Assembly in Brazil and the
Holy Spirit doctrine; the construction of the Holy Spirit theology in the GA in Brazil with
emphasis towards the sense in the Holy Spirit Baptism. 3) "[ ] as the Holy Spirit would
concede thee": building an interface between the Pentecostal theology and the Systematic
Theology of Paul Tillich from the Holy Spirit theme; from a synoptic reading of Acts 2, an
interface between the two theologies is proposed with an outstanding for the baptism/ecstasies
sense in the Holy Spirit.
