The Pneumatological Imagination
A Theological Concert in Honor of Amos Yong
Series: - Global Pentecostal and Charismatic Studies, Volume: 52
This collection is one of the most comprehensive elaborations of âthe pneumatological imaginationââa disposition to God and the world shaped by the doctrine of the Holy Spirit. Scholars in theology, biblical studies, history, and theological education interact with, build on, and critically evaluate this highly important hermeneutical principle in conversation with the theology of Amos Yong and in its own right. The contributors represent several different cultural and ethnic contexts, Church traditions, and kinds of institutions of higher education. They will guide you from beginning understandings of the pneumatological imagination to sophisticated deployments of it through a concert in honor of their colleague and friend.
Christopher A. Stephenson is the author of Types of Pentecostal Theology: Method, System, Spirit (OUP) and Profiles of Pentecostal Theology (Brill), editor of An Amos Yong Reader: The Pentecostal Spirit (Cascade), and a co-editor of Pentecostal Theology and Ecumenical Theology: Interpretations and Intersections (Brill).

William Oliverio, Jr. is Editor-in-chief of Pneuma: The Journal of the Society for Pentecostal Studies and the author of Theological Hermeneutics in the Classical Pentecostal Tradition: A Typological Account (Brill) and Pentecostal Hermeneutics in the Late Modern World: Essays on the Condition of Our Interpretation, among other works.
