The article has revealed that several existing ecological and social issues can be analyzed using the doctrine of the Holy Spirit from its affirmation and integration of life.When studying the doctrine of the Holy Spirit,Moltmann believed that it contained the meaning of life.Despite of any problems of pain,poverty,class,etc.,life was full of vitality and "love".Moltmann's Trinity is explained at the beginning of the article to show that he believed that the discussion of Christian theology must origin from Trinity.The first chapter introduces the doctrine of the Holy Spirit by describing that the Trinity was the foundation of it.Christian theology is neither about "person without God" nor "God without person",therefore,Trinity must be considered.The second chapter states the main contents of the Holy Spirit Theory:the meaning of the "Spirit";the dispute of spiritual flesh and Moltmann's view and the experience and scaredness of Holy Spirit.As far as Moltmann considered,spirit was not only spiritual but a unity with flesh.Inspired by the philosophy of life and knowing that Holy Spirit was a spirit of life,the traditional idea of isolated body and soul was broken through.Meanwhile,Holy Spirit was not an object from experience,the person and subjectivity should be established.The third chapter focuses on the work of the Spirit.Since it is the spirit of life,the life within the Holy Spirit needs to be discussed from the release of life,the sanctification of life,the justification of life and the rebirth of life.In addition,chapter three investigates the Holy Spirit's perichoresis and charismatic powers of life.The release of the life inside Holy Spirit from“confinement" would exchange for freedom.The justification of life brought justice to everyone.The creatures gained sanctity from God via the sanctification of life and the reborn of life represented that updates were brought by Holy Spirit.It was because of the work of Holy Spirit;God did not leave after his creation.The perichoresis where Holy Spirit linked the Son and the Father as a counselor deeply reflects the current situation between humans,human and natural and human and society.The final chapter analyzed the matter of current ecological?social issues and human lives from the perspective of life within the Holy Spirit by comparing with the traditional Chinese ideology.Mordern essential problems,such as the shortage of resources,the damage to the ecosystem,the challenges of human rights and other inequalities,are illustrated from the aspects of freedom?sanctity and perichoresis of Holy Spirit under the background of doctrine of the Holy Spirit.It particularly studies the existing problems from the view of the Holy Spirit.
