Science and the spirit: a Pentecostal engagement with the sciences

Abstract

Outline: What might be described as a Pentecostal worldview has become a powerful cultural phenomenon, but it is often at odds with modernity and globalization. This book confronts questions of spirituality in the face of contemporary science. The essays in this volume illustrate how Pentecostalism can usefully engage with technology and scientific discovery and consider what might be distinctive about a Pentecostal dialogue with the sciences. The authors conclude that Pentecostals, with their unique perspectives on spirituality, can contribute new insights for a productive interaction between theology and science. Contributors are Steve Badger, Donald F. Calbreath, Dennis W. Cheek, Margaret M. Poloma, Craig Scandrette-Leatherman, James K. A. Smith, Mike Tenneson, Wolfgang Vondey, Frederick L. Ware, Telford Work, and Amos Yong.
