Description

Paul Tillich (1886–1965) is widely regarded as one of the most influential theologians of the 20th century. By bringing his thought together with the theology and practices of an important contemporary Christian movement, Pentecostalism, this volume provokes active, productive, critical, and creative dialogue with a broad range of theological topics. These essays stimulate robust conversation, engage on common ground regarding the work of the Holy Spirit, and offer significant insights into the universal concerns of Christian theology and Paul Tillich and his legacy.

PREFACE
All pre-faces to edited volumes appear to have two faces, two ways of pre-speaking. One introduces readers to the story the editors want to tell about how the idea for the volume was conceived. This is a story they are eager to persuade readers to own as theirs, as if to bring the readers and authors to a shared moment of inspiration that appreciates the book s thesis, argument, and goals. This story also serves to establish the need for their volume. The other face is an afterthought, a reinterpretation, a retrospective take, a retroactive examination by the editors of the various processes that worked to bring the book to completion. Usually, it is on this face of the discourse that the editors squeeze meanings out of random events, surprises, and unexpected turns that are inevitable when many scholars are brought together to work, individually and collectively, on a joint project. We want to tell both stories.
Paul Tillich (1886-1965) wrote a great deal about the Spiritual Presence , the immanent presence of the transcendental God amid history. Pentecostal theology accents the Holy Spirit as actively moving, working, and personally transforming human beings, institutions, and communities in the world. While resolutely Christ-centered in its piety, pentecostal theology has nevertheless been intuitively and consistently at work in the formulation of a pneumatological approach to the theological task as well as in the forging of a pneumatological theology focused on the work of the Holy Spirit. By doing so, pentecostal theologians have been major contributors to the articulation and elaboration of the doctrine of the Holy Spirit that has emerged in the last generation in the wider theological academy. So it appears pentecostal theology and Tillichian thought have common ground on which to engage one another and, in so doing, also expand the frontiers of pneumatological theology. Yet a critical conversation between pentecostal theology and the legacy of Tillich has not occurred in any significant way. Thus the need for this book.
On January 21, 2010, we exchanged emails on this shortcoming. Before the end of the day we had identified not only most of the potential contributors to a possible volume on Tillich and pentecostal theology, but also its possible signature character. We decided that the overall thrust of the volume would be around Tillich s Systematic Theology , volume 3, and that his idea of the Spiritual Presence would serve as the springboard to the rest of his oeuvre. The volume would provide a series of pentecostal critical dialogues with Tillich s ideas and Tillichian scholarship, with a fourfold goal: (a) expanding the scope and horizon of pentecostal dialogue partners; (b) contributing further to the contemporary renaissance in pneumatological theology in dialogue with Tillich; (c) critically engaging with contemporary Tillich scholarship in particular; and (d) creatively providing pentecostal engagements with a broad range of contemporary theological topics in dialogue with Tillich.
While the various chapters in this volume critically and adequately engage with Tillich and his ideas, the dialogue with Tillich does not mean that the terms of the engagement are always Tillichian; putting an emphasis on Pentecostalism and pentecostal theology while incorporating or appropriating Tillichian theology is one way of engaging with Tillich s theology. Similarly we are hoping that this dialogue with Tillich helps to generate creative impulse when Tillich is read from a Pentecostal vantage point such that pentecostal theology in turn provides insights for Tillichian scholars.
This volume was conceived amid and against the backdrop of the ongoing development and maturation of pentecostal scholarship as it enters its next phase. The first generation of pentecostal scholars focused on the history of the movement. The generation that came after was concerned with laying the groundwork for pentecostal biblical scholarship. The third wave of scholarship has produced scholars who have developed pentecostal theologies increasingly set within a broad ecumenical, pneumatological, and trinitarian framework. In this latest phase, the dialogue partners for pentecostal theologians have been dominated by the Wesleyan tradition, especially in light of the trajectories of conversation launched by the work of Don Dayton and Stephen Land in the late 1980s. Insofar as pentecostal theologians have engaged the broader tradition of Protestant theology at all, this has been limited to a very small circle dominated by Karl Barth (e.g., in the work of Frank Macchia and Terry Cross, most explicitly). But recently there have been indications that the circle is widening, especially to include Catholic charismatic theology, non-Christian theologies, science, and continental philosophy. This volume on Tillich and pentecostal theology denotes the expanding scope and horizon of pentecostal dialogue partners in today s theological landscape. Its goal is, at least, in part to deepen and strengthen pentecostal theology in the twentieth-first century and re-cognize its enduring insights as it interfaces with the thought of one of the twentieth-century greatest theologians. Now, that is the story that we want you, the reader, to own as definitely yours.
The other story also needs to be briefly mentioned. It was a delight to work with all the contributors who made this volume possible. The significance of the project was easily grasped by all of them in January 2010 when we invited them to consider writing for the book, and they approached it with dedication, care, and commitment. There were even more who initially responded positively to our proposal and invitation, but they were prevented by the unpredictable circumstances of life from realizing their chapters here. Each of our contributors in the pages to come creatively provides a pentecostal engagement with a contemporary topic by arguing with and against Tillich and his ongoing theological legacy. We say a big thank-you to all of you for your hard work, dedication, and the great patience you exercised throughout many rounds of editing, cutting, revisions, and delays.
