An African Pentecostal Hermeneutics

More about the book

Focusing on the rise of African Pentecostalism, this book explores its diverse yet unified movement centered on the baptism in the Spirit and its implications for daily life. It highlights how Pentecostals interpret the Bible through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, often prioritizing personal experience over strict doctrine. The author presents an African hermeneutic that addresses doctrinal excesses within the neo-Pentecostal movement, emphasizing the Holy Spirit's role, an eschatological perspective, and the faith community's importance in biblical interpretation.
