Abstract

41- WOMEN, PENTECOSTALS AND THE BIBLE: AN EXPERIMENT IN PENTECOSTAL HERMENEUTICS John Christopher Thomas* Church of God School of Theology, PO Box 3330, 900 Walker St NE Cleveland, TN 37311, USA I Perhaps few topics have generated the kind of discussion among Pentecostal scholars over the past few years than that which has emerged around the issue of ’Pentecostal hermeneutics’.
