A Dramatic Pentecostal/Charismatic Anti-Theodicy: Improvising on a Divine Performance of Lament
Overview
This study, drawing on Kevin Vanhoozer’s “dramatic” approach to theology, argues that the way God calls us to “perform” as we seek to communicate with him amidst such situations is to lament, and to do so with the aid of the Holy Spirit. Rather than offering such an approach purely in opposition to the more “triumphalistic” responses common in Pentecostal / Charismatic theology and practice, this book seeks to show how a performance of lament is conducive to such theology and practice while acting as a much-needed corrective to certain aspects of it. What is provided here is therefore relevant reading for both scholars and pastors alike, particularly of the Pentecostal / Charismatic church tradition, who grapple with the realities of suffering and the questions such realities produce.
