The following text analyzes the reception of the very significant theological concept of dwelling Jesus’ in the apocryphal Acts of Thomas and tries to underline the dynamics of this reception as re-contextualization with Jesus, one of his attributes or the Holy Spirit in the center. The dwelling expressed first of all through σκηνόω/ἐν-σκηνόω/ κατα-σκηνόω is linked with the activity and manifestation of Jesus as Logos and of the Holy Spirit. Meanwhile refers also οἰκέω/κατοικέω to the gradual dwelling of Jesus and his Holy Spirit in the bodies
and souls of people. Nevertheless, implies dwelling also a human action.
