Abstract

This paper claims that the strenuous task of defining the concept of “holistic society†needs to engage the classical approaches to the matter. Plato in antiquity, More in the middle ages, as well as Durkheim and Galbraith in more recent times, offer useful insights which help us identify the main characteristics of what could be termed “holistic society.†With that addressed, the paper will continue with a theological exploration of the role the Holy Spirit plays in achieving a holistic society. The Spirit creates and sustains the society as this is part of the created order which the Spirit vivifies, then it connects it to the very life of the Triune God; the Spirit also imprints His image everywhere it is present by producing His fruit and lastly He bears witness to Christ in order to turn the world (including society) towards the Son so that it participates in the eternal relationships between the Divine Persons.
