The present work is a study on the Person of Holy Spirit of Yune-Sun Park. Yune-Sun Park`s Pneumatology is trinitarian. To Park, the nature of God`s unity within the triune is not only immanent unity but also economic unity in relation to creation in the aspect of works. Yune-Sun Park, when talking of the work of the Holy Spirit, implies the work of God and the work of Christ. The Holy Spirit, to Yune-Sun Park, is the Spirit of God, and when it is the Spirit of Christ as the Spirit of the Creator and the Creator ``eternal word`` (asarkos logos) is related with the general works of creation and providence, and when it is spirit of the redemptive father God and the redemptive mediator(sarkos logos) is related with the special work of selection. Therefore, the work of the Holy Spirit is the work of three persons, except that it possesses differences in its peculiarity(proprietas). The Holy Spirit as the redemptive God gives order to the chaotic world and cultivates the created world everyday with renewing providential power, and works to renew man with works of re-creation. Also the Holy Spirit in connection with His title and activity is distinguished from the Father and the Son, and is called power or force by His own peculiarity. Yune-Sun Park claims the divinity of the Holy Spirit in the aspect of God`s unity, and claims the independence of person of the Holy Spirit as the third persons in the aspect of the three persons. In relation to the peculiarity of the Holy Spirit, within the work of triune God, the chief work of the Holy Spirit in the Economic work expresses the operation of the Holy Spirit working within the heart of individuals as internal realization or the enforcement of salvation. The Holy Spirit is not only God as Creator, but also God as Redeemer. Yune-Sun Park can be said to claim a Trinitarian Pneumatology which gives weight to immanent trinity and economic trinity.
