Toward a Pentecostalista Theology: Women Driven by the Holy Spirit (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781953358158)

This concise study offers a significant, critical engagement with attitudes with regard to the role of women in ministry within the Church of God and proposes a distinctive Pentecostalista Theology which should inform conversations around this topic. Placing the study within the broader Pentecostal community in which she was formed, Miriam E. Figueroa Aponte discusses the complications and disconnects experienced when her family became part of the denomination in which she has served for decades. Identifying a variety of points of conflict surrounding the role of women in ministry she offers a way forward via explorations of a survey of various theological approaches to conflict and an understanding of Pentecostal pneumatology. From here the author identifies the constitutive elements of a Pentecostalista Theology, as the precursor the development of a fitting hermeneutical approach that involves three movements: awareness, biblical rereading, and the Holy Spirit's direction. The monograph concludes with observations about the role of Pentecostal women and men together as prophets of justice before extending a call for response to her reading and proposals.
