Abstract: "Through interactive dialogue with Evangelical scholars and through an
assessment of their interpretive methods, one may identify an ‘apostolic age' hermeneutic which intrinsically imposes questionable assumptions upon Luke's two-volume work and upon Paul. The result may be termed Lukan and Pauline cessationism. For Luke, narrative disconnectedness replaces narrative-rhetorical cohesion. His examples and precedents of reception of the gift of the Holy Spirit by disciple-believer-witnesses either undergo mass extinction or reinterpretation, reinterpretation which serves the traditional presupposition of an ‘apostolic age' instead of the narrative sequencing and personification of Lukan characters. Luke's fulfilment of prophecy theme is totally ignored. For Paul, similar discursive description of pneumatological experience which Paul assumes is understandable to his selected addressees—language perhaps being urgently and pastorally clarified by Luke's conventional use of examples and precedents—is disconnected from the common oral and cognitive environment shared within the Jerusalem/Petrine Christianity portrayed by Luke. Via discussion, reflection, and testimony, perhaps the coherency and validity of traditional ‘apostolic age' hermeneutics might be explored on the battlefield of biblical interpretation."

- "An Evaluation of the History of Pentecostal Dalits in Kerala" by Yesunatha Das (Th.M. thesis, South Asian Institute of Advanced Christian Studies, Bangalore, 2001).
Introduction: Yesunatha Das' study of Dalit pentecostalism opens up new perspectives on Asian pentecostalism in general and Indian pentecostalism more particularly. It shows that while the "color line was washed away in the blood" at Azusa Street, the line was quickly re-established not only in North American pentecostalism but also in places like India. The work for justice and reconciliation remains, and Das' thesis will provide new insights & motivations toward that end.

Soon Paul's essays on conversion (contrasting 'bounded-set' vs. 'centered-set' thinking), critical contextualization, split-level Christianity, and self-theologizing were establishing many of his ideas as core concepts of the discipline. Paul sometimes wrote for missionary practitioners, as in his Anthropological Insights for Missionaries (Baker, 1985), which has sold over 50,000 copies. But many of his writings aimed, successfully, at influencing missiology as a field. For example, according to Darrell Whiteman, former editor of Missiology, Paul's essay on 'Critical Contextualization' has been employed as a theoretical framework in more missiology Ph.D. dissertations in the last twenty years than any other single missiological contribution. ..."

Christians in the Public Square
- Guenther "Gene" Haas, "Creational Ethics is Public Ethics" Journal for Christian Theological Research 12 (2007). (.pdf)
Abstract: This paper presents the framework and key doctrines relevant to public moral engagement as found in the Reformed or neo-Calvinist tradition shaped by Abraham Kuyper and his disciples. My thesis is that Christian ethics is public ethics because it is creational ethics. Christian ethics has a place in the public arena because it is the articulation of the creational moral order that constitutes and guides all human beings. Neo-Calvinism considers the creation order as foundational. The fall of creation and its redemption must be understood in relation to this foundational doctrine. But the creational order also shapes the nature of Christian involvement in the public domain. The final section highlights some implications of this for involvement in public life. | Suggested by TS: "You may not be a fan of Kuyper or neo-Calvinist thought, but I think this should be read by anyone interested in understanding how Reformed folks approach cultural and political engagement."
