TY - JOUR AU - Griffiths, John Daniel PY - 2021/06/09 Y2 - 2024/03/29 TI - Spirit-Baptised Creation: Locating Pentecost in the Meta-Narrative of Creation and Its Implications for a Pentecostal Ecology JF - Australasian Pentecostal Studies JA - APS VL - 22 IS - 1 SE - Special Issue: Pentecostals and Creation Care DO - UR - https://aps-journal.com/index.php/APS/article/view/9570 SP - 46-60 AB - <p>This article seeks to build upon the previous work of pentecostal ecologies, by arguing that all of creation is baptised in the Spirit at Pentecost (Acts 2).&nbsp;I will establish the ecological breadth of Spirit baptism by locating Pentecost in the meta-narrative of creation, through the various allusions to the temple in Acts 2. This article will have three parts; an outline of the argument for seeing Pentecost as a temple inauguration theophany (Part One), which connects Pentecost to the meta-narrative of creation (Part Two) and leads to two further exegetical questions on the imagery of creation in Acts 2 (Part Three). This article will finish with a reflection on the theological implications of this ecological reading of Pentecost for a pentecostal ecology.</p> ER -
