Overview

A Nondualistic Pentecostal Theology: Exploring Dialectics and Becoming through Amos Yong and Slavoj Zizek invites readers to think through a dialectical theology for the third millennium, grounded in nonduality and expressed from a pentecostal perspective. Amos Yong has developed such a theology, providing a valuable foundation for a nondualistic approach, though his work stops short of achieving a fully coherent nondualism. Through Pentecost-inspired themes, systematic complexity, and interdisciplinary input, Yong highlights the diverse voices of pentecostal theology, yet he continues to speak of God in dualistic terms. Missed opportunities to move beyond dualism are identified and addressed through a coherent nondualistic framework. With the help of Slavoj Zizek, the pentecostal imagination retrieves and reconfigures the essential themes of Yong's theology and philosophy. The result is a nondualistic pentecostal theology, committed to the richness of connection and the expansive potential of becoming.

Moffatt takes Yong's theology to a place that is more-than-Yong, yet it is inherent to Yong's thought, intrinsic to its excessive core. Spencer Moffatt, in reading Yong to regain or uncover the creative impulses that Yong ignored in the actualization of his thought, exposes Yong's oeuvre to a new audience of critical theorists and radical theologians. In doing this, Moffatt himself shines (abides) in the glory of continental-philosophy-informed pentecostal theology. This book ultimately announces Moffatt as a careful and rigorous thinker and a powerhouse in the catalytic discipline of pentecostal philosophical theology. --Nimi Wariboko, Boston University This book requires us to rethink not only our views, but our assumptions. By providing a critical reading of Yong's pentecostal theology alongside a constructive proposal for Zizek's philosophy, Moffatt presents a robust new model for overcoming dualism in the name of greater coherence between theology and philosophy. Challenging yet invitational, this book positions Moffatt as a thinker who is changing the landscape of philosophical theology in real time. --J. Aaron Simmons, Furman University; author of God and the Other
