If Basil of Caesarea receives mention in a standard course of
lectures on Christian theology or history it is as the first person
to write a dedicated discourse on the Holy Spirit. Ironically, the
primary question about Basil for scholars is whether he fully
believed in the divinity of the Holy Spirit himself. Timothy
McConnell argues that Basil did regard the Holy Spirit as fully
divine and an equal Person of the Holy Trinity. However, Basil
refused to use philosophical terminology to make the point,
preferring instead to prove the divinity of the Holy Spirit by what
the Spirit himself revealed through divine act and Holy Scripture.
Thus, "illumination" becomes the primary paradigm that Basil used
to argue the divinity of the Holy Spirit, rather than philosophical
rationalism of his time. What Basil called illumination, later
theologians would come to refer to as 'theology of revelation'
setting the stage for this study's high relevance for contemporary
thought.
