Insofar as Christian theology aims to make truthful claims about the nature of reality, it is necessarily involved in the enterprise of metaphysics. Pentecostals, precisely as Christians, are thus obliged to participate. Through this study it becomes evident that pentecostals aim to participate in the metaphysical discipline in the same way they theologize — that is, informed by the norms, practices, and speech acts that constitute their spirituality. This book aims to construct a Christian metaphysics that is at once attuned to pentecostal spirituality/theology and informed by the classical tradition of Christian metaphysics. Ultimately, this work offers a constructive and critical engagement with pentecostal spirituality, and with pentecostal theology via the larger ecumenical, creedal, and dogmatic metaphysical tradition. Thus, this book is explicitly and intentionally limited to understand metaphysics in conversation with the historical Christian tradition, and to understand a pentecostal vision of it.

Faced with the relative neglect of metaphysics within the Pentecostal tradition, Ray Robles offers an in-depth and theologically astute corrective. Deeply grounded in Christian tradition, Theological Metaphysics draws from a wide range of sources, while engaging in spirited dialogue especially with Amos Yong’s emergence theory. The result is a well-constructed plea for a traditional participatory or sacramental ontology that does justice to the Pentecostal experience. This book is a treasure trove, not just for Pentecostals but for anyone asking how it is that we may speak about the triune God’s enchantment of a Spirit-filled world.
