  4. Melissa L.  Archer, I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day: A Pentecostal
    Engagement with Worship in the Apocalypse (Cleveland, TN: CPT Press,
    2015), 45. See pages 45–54, “Pentecostal Hermeneutics,” for a discussion
    of the essential ideas associated with each of the triad and the rationale for
    taking the fi rst fi fteen years of Pentecostal literature into consideration for
    academic Pentecostal theological interpretation.

  5. For one example see the chapter in this volume by Joel Green.

  6. Often the concern has to do with defi nition of identity of the interpreters
    and the methodologies being employed, however, some are more philo-
    sophical critiques reaffi rming modern epistemology and others more theo-
    logical. For example, see Jack Poirier’s chapter in this volume.
