Pentecostal Theology and Pentecostal Studies

Pentecostal Theology and Pentecostal Studies One of the joys of (co)editing Pneuma is that I get to work at the vanguard of pentecostal studies as an interdisciplinary field of inquiry.

As a systematic theologian trained professionally in a graduate program (Boston University’s School of Theology in the mid-1990s) that emphasized interdisciplinary, intercultural, and interfaith approaches, I have long appreciated theological work explicated in these ways as well as efforts in these latter areas that have engaged with theology as an equal dialogue partner. It is in part for this reason that I am thrilled with this issue of Pneuma . It has a substantial core of theological articles, but each of them is either situated in or invites interdisciplinary considerations. Michael Wilkinson and Peter Althouse, and Shane Clifton, Joshua Reichard, and Christopher (Crip) Stephenson all presume an interdisciplinary conversation in different ways.

Abstract

One of the joys of (co)editing Pneuma is that I get to work at the vanguard of pentecostal studies as an interdisciplinary field of inquiry. The breadth of interest groups that constitutes the annual meeting of the Society for Pentecostal Studies ( SPS ) feeds, at least in part, the scope of material published in this journal. As a systematic theologian trained professionally in a graduate program (Boston University’s School of Theology in the mid-1990s) that emphasized interdisciplinary, intercultural, and interfaith approaches, I have long appreciated theological work explicated in these ways as well as efforts in these latter areas that have engaged with theology as an equal dialogue partner. It is in part for this reason that I am thrilled with this issue of Pneuma . It has a substantial core of theological articles, but each of them is either situated in or invites interdisciplinary considerations. Michael Wilkinson and Peter Althouse, and Shane Clifton, Joshua Reichard, and Christopher (Crip) Stephenson all presume an interdisciplinary conversation in different ways. The coauthors of the first article—Wilkinson and Althouse—are by nature of their sociological and theological craft, respectively, already interdisciplinary: sociological insights are nurtured within a theological frame of reference
