Systematics for a Global Christianity? Extending the Conversation

In late june 2017, Arnos Yong's Renewing Christian Theology: Systematics for a Global Christianity (Baylor University Press, 2014) was the subject of a specially organized Theology Forum at the University of Bern, Switzerland. Four of the discussants wrote up their reflections, and the author then penned a rejoinder. The following reviews, followed by a response from the author, track some of the questions and conversations being catalyzed by the ongoing development of Pentecostal theology, particularly as it has been received by theologians on the European continent. They suggest that much work remains for those seeking to work out of an explicitly Pentecostal confessional context, but also indicate how ecumenical interaction can be mutually beneficial for all sides of the wider theological endeavor.
