Constructive Pneumatological Hermeneutics in Pentecostal Christianity

(Eugene: Pickwick Publications, 2011), 67. Emphasis mine. Integrating this

view with the sacramental nature of creation, the conclusion is that material

creation can be a conduit of God’s transformative grace, and not only spiritu-

alized forms of worship. However, this sacramental nature of creation does

not lead to sacramental relativism. Smith offers an answer to this question in

a consistent manner with his non- dualistic ontology, stating that, while every-

thing is sacramental in structure, Scripture dedicates certain acts as sacra-

ments of the highest order: “Jesus takes up particular things from creation

and endues them with a sense of special presence, an especially intense pres-

ence. In this way Jesus seems to establish particular hot spots of sacramental-

ity within a good creation.” Smith, Desiring the Kingdom , 149.
