How should one approach the task of theology? The question of
methodology is increasingly one of interest among theologians, who
recognize that the very manner in which we approach theology
informs both the questions we ask and the conclusions we reach.
This volume in IVP's Spectrum Multiview series brings together five
evangelical theologians with distinctly different approaches to the
theological task. After presenting the approaches-which include
appeals to Scripture, context, missions, interdisciplinary studies,
and dogmatics-each contributor responds to the other views.
Emerging from this theological conversation is an awareness of our
methodological commitments and the benefits that each approach can
bring to the theological task. Contributors: Sung Wook Chung John
R. Franke Telford C. Work Victor Ifeanyi Ezigbo Paul Louis Metzger
Spectrum Multiview Books offer a range of viewpoints on contested

Steven M. Studebaker proposes a Pentecostal approach to a major
Christian doctrine, the atonement. The book moves Pentecostal
theology of the atonement from a primarily Christocentric and
crucicentric register to one that articulates the pneumatological
and holistic nature of Pentecostal praxis. Studebaker examines the
irony of Classical Pentecostalism relying on the Christocentrism of
Protestantism evangelical atonement theology to articulate its
experience of the Holy Spirit, as well as the Pneumatological
nature of Pentecostal praxis. He then develops a Pentecostal
theology of atonement based on the biblical narrative of the Spirit
of Pentecost and returns to re-imagine an expanded vision of
Pentecostal praxis based on the theological formation of the
biblical narrative. The result is a Pentecostal atonement theology
that shows the integrated nature of pneumatology, creation and
Christology in the biblical narrative of redemption. It gives
theological expression to not only the pneumatological nature of
Pentecostal praxis, but also the fundamental role of the Holy
Spirit in the biblical narrative of redemption. The book challenges
popular western atonement theologies to re-think their
Christocentrism and crucicentrism as well as their atomistic
tendency to separate soteriology into objective (Christological)
and subjective (pneumatolgical) categories.
