Reviews

"Amos Yong is one of the two or three Pentecostal theologians who ventures beyond the narrower confines of traditional Pentecostal writers. He has already written numerous books on the Holy Spirit, on hermeneutics, of Trinitarian faith, and ecumenical concerns. This volume reprints twelve earlier essays, but includes a fresh introduction and conclusion. I heartily commend his fresh thinking, his Trinitarian perspective, and hermeneutical sensitivity. This book is timely, and deserves a wide readership."
--Anthony C. Thiselton, Emeritus Professor, Christian Theology, University of Nottingham

"This is a valuable essay collection that contributes to the discussion of theological interpretation of scripture (TIS) by a leading evangelical and Pentecostal theologian. Yong advocates pneumatological interpretation of scripture (PIS) for the sake of a truly robust Trinitarian hermeneutics. PIS is not simply TIS done by Pentecostals, but TIS done in the light of the Pentecost event and, as such, is the privilege, and responsibility, of all Christians."
--Kevin J. Vanhoozer, Research Professor, Systematic Theology Trinity Evangelical Divinity School

"Amos Yong is a prolific theologian and represents the fast-growing Pentecostal movement. In recent decades that growth has been accompanied by a major resurgence of Pentecostal theology, of which Yong is a key representative. In this wide-ranging and creative book, Yong brings his recent work into dialogue with the renaissance of theological interpretation. This renaissance and the explosion of Pentecostalism are both important developments of our time and thus their coalescence in this book is indeed welcome. Yong rightly sees that theological interpretation opens out onto all of life and it is gratifying to see the wide-range of topics addressed including family, children, science, sin, liberation theology, other religions, disability and sport! Leaning heavily on Acts 2 and Luke, Yong opens up a feast of interpretation, one which scholars of all Christian traditions will want to take note of, to learn from, and to engage in dialogue."
--Craig G. Bartholomew, Director, Kirby Laing Institute for Christian Ethics
