| Summary: | It is notable that few Pentecostals have engaged with the discipline of Practical Theology (PT). Whilst those who have often include a helpful emphasis on pneumatology in their methodological work, they generally do not incorporate a fuller range of Pentecostal nuances beyond pneumatology. This paper seeks to address this by considering how Pentecostal theology can more broadly resource a PT method. This is important because Pentecostalism has its own way of generating knowledge, which emerges from these broader theological distinctives. In doing so, it suggests a step-by-step method, framed around the questions posed by the crowd at Pentecost, and draws from theological ideas present in the Acts 2 narrative. Furthermore, it is characterised by the predisposition of the theologian to seek what Christ and the Spirit are saying or doing in the experience. |
