Pneumatic Discernment in the Apocalypse David R Johnson

With this monograph, I seek to appreciate both the formation of my people - my intertext - while also experiencing the living fire for myself. I will argue that pneumatic discernment is an essential narrative thread that appears throughout the Apocalypse. I will attempt to hear the voices of the Pentecostal community in the US as a way to hear from my own tribe. I will then explore the thread of pneumatic discernment in the Apocalypse from an intertextual, theological, and narrative perceptive. This study will be significant for further theological developments in the Pentecostal communities that engage a triadic hermeneutic of Spirit, scripture, and community.
