In the first critical study of the major theologians of
pentecostalism, one of the fastest growing and most influential
religious traditions in the world, Christopher A. Stephenson
establishes four original categories to classify pentecostal
theologians' methodologies in systematic/constructive theology. The
four categories are based respectively on: the arrangement of
biblical texts; the relationship between theology and Christian
spirituality; doctrine concerning the kingdom of God; and
pneumatology as a basis for philosophical and fundamental theology.
Stephenson analyzes each methodological type and suggests a
pentecostal theological method that builds on the strengths of
each. He then offers his own, original contribution, arguing for a
reciprocal relationship between pentecostal spirituality and
doctrine that follows the pattern of lex orandi, lex credendi, and
develops a doctrine of the Lord's supper as a demonstration of this
reciprocal relationship. Types of Pentecostal Theology provides
critical insight into such fundamental issues as the relationship
between theology and philosophy, the dynamic between scripture and
tradition, and the similarities and differences between recent
pentecostal theology and other currents in contemporary theology.
