Feminist-Pentecostal Hermeneutics

Abstract

This article explores an emerging hermeneutic of participation arising from the feminist-Pentecostal dialogue. For many, Pentecostal and feminist hermeneutics appear incompatible. Further examination reveals the possibility of dialogue originating from their pneumatological, canonical, narratival, and anthropological hermeneutical convictions. This is reinforced through shared theological values, anthropological convictions, and common history. This feminist-Pentecostal dialogue yields a hermeneutic of participation marked by orthodoxy, orthopathy, and orthopraxy. Ultimately, this hermeneutic of participation fosters discipleship and the flourishing of the Church.
