The Pentecostal Readings of Scripture Series is conceived of as a forum in which some of Pentecostalism's leading biblical scholars may share their readings of Scripture as they emerge in a variety of global contexts. In order to hear these diverse global voices in one accord, authors are not obligated to follow any prescribed pattern or model of reading, allowing interested parties a chance to discern the contours of hermeneutical approaches currently being employed by Pentecostal interpreters. This commentary by a well-respected Bible scholar, teacher, and educational administrator in the Church of God (Cleveland, TN) will be a valuable resource for anyone who studies the book of Romans and for anyone who is interested in Classical Pentecostal methodologies of biblical interpretation.
R. Hollis Gause (PhD, Emory University; DLitt, Lee College; DD, Pentecostal Theological Seminary) was Founding Academic Dean and Director, as well as Professor of New Testament and Theology, at the Pentecostal Theological Seminary in Cleveland, TN USA.
