Through a systematic analysis of the conflicts emerging when the
public church encounters the public world, The Scandal of Pentecost
argues that the public advent of the church stands in continuity
with the public scandal of the incarnate and crucified Christ. The
book traces the contours of this scandal in the confrontation of
the dominant ruling hermeneutic of authority with a Christian
hermeneutic of resistance. This highlights the brokenness of the
human condition manifested by the church in the drunkenness of the
disciples, the speaking in other tongues, the baptism with the
Spirit, the empowerment of the flesh, and its public witness to a
scandalized world. The effects of the scandal transform both the
disciples’ individual and communal witness and their public
recognition as the church. Through the lens of a symbolic
hermeneutic, the public witness of the church at Pentecost reveals
a Christian scandal of anthropological proportions: with the
outpouring of the Spirit on all flesh the church emerges as the
symbol of humanity.
