Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to: explore the relationship of "Pentecostal" preaching to the basic styles of traditional sermons and new ways to communicate revelation; discuss the affirmative contribution that the Pentecostal church has made to Biblical hermeneutics through a contextual application of the biblical text inside and outside the temple; explore the theoretical and practical issues that relate to the Pentecostal interpretation of the Bible with other disciplines such as study and preaching; identify the motives, purposes, and priorities of Biblical interpretation and its contribution to the development of Christian leadership; and present the challenge presented by the different cultural contexts both present and past in the Pentecostal interpretation of the Holy Scriptures.
