L. William Oliverio, Jr. is associate professor of public theology at Northwest University in Kirkland, Washington and co-editor-in-chief of Pneuma: The Journal of the Society for Pentecostal Studies.
"William Oliverio has already shown himself an expert on the state
of Pentecostal hermeneutics, writing on the range of positions
found among Pentecostal scholars today. This volume brings to bear
his prodigious theological acumen, his knowledge of global
Pentecostalism, and his insights on the most current state of
Pentecostal hermeneutics."
--Craig S. Keener, Asbury Theological Seminary
"Bill Oliverio is one of the foremost Pentecostal hermeneuts in the
world. In this book, we encounter him at the height of his
intellectual prowess yet pressing toward the mark for the prize of
higher summits of scholarship. This collection of essays
demonstrates that Oliverio is not at the end of his scholarly
gifts; he is not even at the beginning of their end, but at the
beginning of the beginning. Expect more from him."
--Nimi Wariboko, Boston University
"If 'hermeneutics' is the science and art of reading, Oliverio is
one of the few Pentecostal hermeneuts who recognizes that our
ability to read books, texts, and even Scripture is intertwined
with our capacity to read the world around us. This collection of
essays . . . performs effectively the reiterative and dynamic
character of the hermeneutical spiral and invites readers into the
conversation--welcome to a hermeneutical imagination that attempts
to follow where the Spirit leads!"
--Amos Yong, Fuller Seminary
"Oliverio brings together in this book a rich engagement with
philosophy along with specific reflection on the tacit conditions
that inform interpretation to develop a robust theological
hermeneutic that is authentic to the Pentecostal tradition. The
result is a pneumatically centered ecumenical vision for the
interpretive task."
--Jacqueline N. Grey, Alphacrucis College
