Abstract
This article provides an overview of the articulation of eschatology in the periodical literature produced in the early years of the Wesleyan Holiness stream of early Pentecostalism in North America. The variety of views on eschatology discovered there challenges the assertion of some historians of the movement that all early Pentecostals were (modified) dispensationalists. Rather, the variety reveals a correspondence between emerging Pentecostal hermeneutical sensibilities (or the lack thereof) and the view espoused. Specifically, the open conversation about eschatology in the early years of the movement may be characterized as a discerning process in the context of the process–oriented soteriological foundation inherent in the fivefold gospel narrative. The author concludes that the early history of Pentecostalism supports those contemporary efforts to re–vision Pentecostal eschatology to be more compatible with the dynamic spirituality of the movement.
