Pentecostalism as a Christian Mystical Tradition

Pentecostalism is commonly framed as "evangelicalism with tongues" or dismissed as simply a revivalist movement. In Pentecostalism as a Christian Mystical Tradition Daniel Castelo forwards an informed reassessment of Pentecostalism as a mystical tradition of the church universal.

Through a theological approach, Castelo looks particularly at Pentecostalism's methodology and epistemology as he carefully distinguishes it from American evangelicalism. He displays the continuity between Pentecostalism and ancient church tradition, creating a unified narrative of Pentecostalism and the mystical tradition of Christianity throughout history and today. Finally, he uses a test case to press the question of what the interactions between mystical theology and dogmatics could look like.
