| Summary: | The Arusha, Tanzania, 2018 World Mission Conference theme, Moving in the Spirit: Called to Transforming Discipleship, can be read from one perspective as acknowledging the continued growth and expansion of pentecostal and charismatic movements across the world Christian stage, especially in the majority world. Such ongoing developments beg the question of whether pentecostal and charismatic renewal has anything to contribute to global mission theology and theologizing in the present time. This essay suggests that the Spirit-filled and empowered life invites a pneumatological imagination, hermeneutic, and theological method that carves out a via media between a fundamentalistic scripturalism that neglects the ongoing work of the Spirit on the one side, and a subjectivistic experientialism that is untethered to the biblical and theological tradition on the other. Such an approach will be exemplified - not just laid out propositionally (or scientifically, in the old tradition of hermeneutics, understood as the science of interpretation) - in light of the Day of Pentecost narrative as recorded in the book of Acts. |
