Abstract
Seeking to construct the implied readers of Keener’s volume, the author focuses upon Keener’s rather vague discussion of the role of the Spirit, his view of original meaning as the key to hermeneutics, the book’s rhetorically charged tone, and a certain imprecision that occurs throughout. The second part of this essay concludes with the identification of several areas in which the work missed opportunities for significant engagement within this area of hermeneutics, including the absence of original Pentecostal source materials, the absence of intentional engagement with the origins and development of contemporary Pentecostal hermeneutics, and the absence of specific examination of several NT texts that reveal much about concrete ways in which the Spirit functions in interpretation.
