Theological Metaphysics

Insofar as Christian theology aims to make truthful claims about the nature of reality it is necessarily involved in the enterprise of metaphysics. Pentecostals precisely as Christians are thus obliged to participate. Through this study it becomes evident that pentecostals aim to participate in the metaphysical discipline in the same way they theologize - that is informed by the norms practices and speech acts that constitute their spirituality. <br/><br/>This book aims to construct a Christian metaphysics that is at once attuned to pentecostal spirituality/theology and informed by the classical tradition of Christian metaphysics. <br/><br/>Ultimately this work offers a constructive and critical engagement with pentecostal spirituality and with pentecostal theology via the larger ecumenical creedal and dogmatic metaphysical tradition. Thus this book is explicitly and intentionally limited to understand metaphysics in conversation with the historical Christian tradition and to understand a pentecostal vision of it.
