The Pentecostal and science promise
The Pentecostal tradition offers one of, if not the, most
exciting conversation partners in the science-and-religion dialogue.
Pentecostalism brings several assets to the conversation table.
I will be meeting friends Craig Boyd, Joshua Moritz, LeRon Shults,
and Amos Yong to explore the work of Yong and Pentecostalism as it
relates to science. Yong has written or edited several books on science
and theology, and I consider him a creative theological epicenter for
what is best about Pentecostals engaging the science-and-theology
interface.
The Pentecostal tradition has the potential to turn the
science-and-religion dialogue into a mutually transformative engagement.
Such an endeavor could transform the way we think about and do science,
and it could transform Pentecostalism and its theology.
