Amos Yong is Professor of Theology & Mission and Director of the Center for Missiological Research at Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, California.
"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
