How to best engage in Pentecostal philosophy? An appraisal and a proposal
Pentecostal philosophy has emerged during the first quarter of the twenty first century. Pentecostal scholars have not only produced philosophical works but have also begun to reflect on the nature of Pentecostal philosophy and how it might differ from, for example, Pentecostal theology. Cognisant of these developments, this article explores the Pentecostal metaphilosophical question: what is Pentecostal philosophy and how to best engage in it? I…
Are we still perplexed by Pentecostalism? A roundtable discussion on Wolfgang Vondey’s Pentecostalism: A guide for the Perplexed a decade after publication
Wolfgang Vondey’s Pentecostalism: A Guide for the Perplexed (2013) is a significant theological introduction to the global Pentecostal movement. In the book Vondey invites his readers to appreciate the diversity of Pentecostalism without attempting to homogenize or essentialise the movement. Ten years on from publication, what has changed in the world of Pentecostalism and to what extent is the book’s argument still valid today? These questions w…
Pentecostal Theological Education: Mapping the Historical Landscape and Reflecting on a Theological Future
Pentecostalism has a mixed history with theological education. The movement has been shaped by a strong current of anti-intellectualism, but it has also established and supported training institutions from its inception. This article briefly maps out the historical development of Western classical Pentecostal theological education and proposes that many of the existing challenges and tensions have been caused by the movement’s uncritical adoption…
‘Pentecost with signs’: Historical and theological reflections on Spirit baptism from a British and wider European perspective
Baptism in the Holy Spirit has been central to classical Pentecostal traditions, but its ongoing importance in Pentecostal theology and practice is increasingly questioned. This article explores the common three ideas associated with the classical Pentecostal doctrine, namely, the beliefs that it is (1) a subsequent experience to conversion, (2) accompanied by tongues as initial evidence and (3) given for the purpose of empowerment for witness. T…
European Pentecostalism: A European Past and a Pentecostal Future
In a global context, numerically European Pentecostals are relatively few. That said, European Pentecostalism has deep native roots and a rich international history. Indeed, this article argues that European Pentecostalism is precisely a modern European Christian movement because of both its European origins and its international ethos. Informed by this historical past, the article proposes that the pentecostal narrative of Acts 2, which celebrat…

The Elim Tradition: ‘An Argument Extended through Time’ (Alasdair MacIntyre)
The article explores the nature of the Elim movement by utilizing Alasdair MacIntyre's concept of tradition as ‘an argument extended through time’. In doing so it seeks to identify the essential content of the Elim argument (read: tradition) and its method (read: rationality); and to narrate how the Elim argument has progressed during its 100 year history, with particular emphasis on its two major epistemological crises
In Search of a “Pentecostal” Epistemology
Pentecostal theologians are increasingly aware that there cannot be an authentic pentecostal theology without a distinct pentecostal epistemology, or at least an epistemology that is compatible with pentecostal spirituality, beliefs, and practices. To date, Amos Yong and James Smith have arguably provided the most philosophically mature pentecostal theories of knowledge. They have not only constructed insightful theological epistemologies based o…
