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’. Scholars who have entered into this debate range from those who deny the need for a distinctive Pentecostal hermeneutic, preferring to follow current evangel- ical models, to those who are in dialogue with a number of method- ologies that have come to the forefront within the last decade. While no consensus has emerged as of yet, it appears that many scholars working within the Pentecostal tradition are less content to adopt a system of interpretation that is heavily slanted toward rationalism and has little room for the role of the Holy Spirit. Several reasons account for the desire on the part of some Pentecostal scholars to identify and articulate a hermeneutic that is more representa- tive of the tradition and its ethos. Disappointment with the results of rationalism is one major factor in the emergence of this trend.
