Theological Refl ections on the Sound and Spirit of Global Renewal,” in
The Spirit of Praise: Music and Worship in Global Pentecostal- Charismatic
Christianity , ed. Monique Ingalls and Amos Yong (University Park, Penn.:

Demise of Foundationalism and the Retention of Truth: What Evangelicals
Can Learn from C.S. Peirce,” Christian Scholar’s Review 29:3 (Spring
2000): 563–588. - See Yong, “The Hermeneutical Trialectic: Notes toward Consensual
Hermeneutic and Theological Method,” Heythrop Journal 45:1 (2004):

for more on such eschatological framing, see Renewing Christian Theology:
Systematics for a Global Christianity , images and commentary by Jonathan
A. Anderson (Waco, Tex.: Baylor University Press, 2014), ch. 2 and
passim. - The idea for this paper was instigated by Megan Musy and Dan Morrison
of the Society for Pentecostal Studies when, as chairs of the Diversity
Committee, they asked me to be a panelist on “Non- Western and Western
Hermeneutical Traditions” at the annual meeting at Life Pacifi c College,
San Dimas, California, in March 2016. I am grateful for the opportunity
provided by Bill Oliverio and Ken Archer to develop that outline into the
essay for their book. Thanks to Ryan Seow, my graduate assistant, for read-
ing an earlier draft. All remaining errors of fact or interpretation are my
own.
