The pentecostal principle : ethical methodology in new spirit /
Wariboko, Nimi,1962-
Grand Rapids, Mich. ; Cambridge : Eerdmans,
c2012.
This book formulates the Pentecostal principle -- the capacity of social existence to begin something new -- and applies it specifically to the field of ethical methodology. Nimi Wariboko engages contemporary philosophers, from Hannah Arendt to Giorgia Agamben and others working in the Tillichian tradition, as he develops an understanding of how Pentecostal thought sheds new light on the nature, task, and project of social ethics. With an eye for both the intrinsic playfulness of Pentecostal practice and the realities of global pluralism, Wariboko contributes a distinctively Pentecostal voice to ongoing conversations in political theology, social ethics, public theology, and philosophy.--From publisher's description.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 215-223) and index.
