@article{Rice_2013, title={A Pentecostal Lex Legendi For Fostering Polyphonic Perspectivalism in Pentecostal Tradition }, volume={1}, url={https://indotheologyjournal.org/index.php/home/article/view/85}, DOI={10.46567/ijt.v1i2.85}, abstractNote={<p>I begin this paper by surveying qualitative distinctives of Pentecostal Bible reading, which together contribute to the missional localizing giftedness of Pentecostalism worldwide. In Part 2 I then suggest that detrimentally incongruent to these distinctives are several Fundamentalist-Evangelical mediated postures to Scripture. In Part 3 I address this incongruence by proposing a Pentecostal&nbsp;<em>lex legendi</em>&nbsp;(“rule of reading”), built on Telford Work’s “Trinitarian-Ontology of Scripture.” I argue that Work’s bibliology provides a compelling theological premise for both the Pentecostal dynamic and polyvalent understanding of biblical revelation, and substantiates theological pluralism as intrinsic to Pentecostal tradition. Further building on Work’s bibliology, I then propose a Pentecostal form of&nbsp;<em>lectio divina</em>&nbsp;(“sacred reading”) that structures the classical/medieval fourfold Scripture sense, to a constructivist understanding of the threefold Pentecostal soteriological experiences (redemption, sanctification, and Spirit baptism). I conclude by delineating how this Pentecostal form of&nbsp;<em>lectio divina</em>&nbsp;may help Pentecostals identify and utilize theological hermeneutics that best foster the Pentecostal missiological giftedness, and hence the pluralizing of Pentecostalism(s) worldwide.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Indonesian Journal of Theology}, author={Rice, Monte Lee}, year={2013}, month={Dec.}, pages={17-51} }
