The Dialogical Spirit is a collection of previously published articles by the prominent Pentecostal thinker, Amos Yong.

Abstract

Amos Yong, The Dialogical Spirit: Christian Reason and Theological Method in the Third Millennium (Eugene, Oregon: Cascade Books, 2014) xvi + 336 pp. $ 39.00. The Dialogical Spirit is a collection of previously published articles by the prominent Pentecostal thinker, Amos Yong. This book is structured into four sections each seeking to tackle the challenge of a different “post …” which characterizes our current age: (1) the ‘Postfoundationalist Turn’, (2) the ‘Post-Christendom Era’, (3) the ‘Postsecular Milieu’, and (4) the ‘Postmodern Situation’. These four sections have three dialogue partners with a chapter each. In this way, Yong has written a book which not only promotes dialogues, but also seeks to exemplify such a dialogical methodology. The first chapter provides an overview of the main issues regarding the struggle between evangelicalism and post-foundationalism as well as a clear, although necessarily selective, description of Charles Sander Peirce’s epistemology.
