This book presents the work of leading hermeneutical theorists alongside emerging thinkers, examining the current state of hermeneutics within the Pentecostal tradition. The volume´s contributors present constructive ideas about the future of hermeneutics at the intersection of theology of the Spirit, Pentecostal Christianity, and other disciplines. This collection offers cutting-edge scholarship that engages with and pulls from a broad range of fields and points toward the future of Pneumatological hermeneutics. The volume´s interdisciplinary essays are broken up into four sections: philosophical hermeneutics, biblical-theological hermeneutics, social and cultural hermeneutics, and hermeneutics in the social and physical sciences.

"Constructive Pneumatological Hermeneutics in Pentecostal Christianity is an informative work. It does not only summarise many of the hermeneutical debates and discussions to date ... but also genuinely seems to broaden the conversation on Pentecostal hermeneutics by allowing the plurality of voices to be heard from various disciplinary perspectives and points of view." (Simo Frestadius, Journal of the European Pentecostal Theological Association, November, 2017)
