Ezekiel’s Spirit Motif in the Context of African Pentecostal Theology - Samuel Muindi
84,95 inkl. MwSt
Ezekiel has often been called ‘the prophet of the spirit’ because of his surpassing use of the word רוח, ‘spirit’. The main argument of this book is that Ezekiel’s ‘spirit’ motif conveys a polysemous symbolism which, nonetheless, accentuates an overarching leitmotiv. Ezekiel’s ‘spirit’ symbolism signifies a paradigm shift in ancient Israelite visualization of divine presence in Israel: from visible phenomena and experiences, mediated through rituals at cultic shrines in Israel, to an omnipresence that is not necessarily mediated through cultus.


Moreover, author Samuel W. Muindi posits that the African Pentecostal ‘en-spirited’ worldview is an apt hermeneutical lens for understanding Ezekielian ‘spirit’ symbolism. The experiences of the Ezekielian exilic community prefigure dynamic equivalents in African communities. As such, Ezekielian ‘spirit’ symbolism critically informs the African Pentecostal ‘en-spirited’ worldview while the latter illumines Ezekielian ‘spirit’ symbolism.


This book is aimed at students of Biblical theology and others who wish to enrich their understanding of hermeneutics as well as Biblical pneumatology as an ‘en-spirited’ worldview.

Samuel W. Muindi is professor of Biblical and Pentecostal studies at the International Leadership University, Nairobi, Kenya, where he also served as the Deputy Vice Chancellor. He holds an M.Div from Oral Roberts University, USA; an M.Th from Duke University, USA; a Th.D from Boston University, USA; and a Ph.D in Pentecostal Studies from the University of Birmingham, U.K. His recent works include Ancient Israelite and African Wisdom Traditions: A Comparative Hermeneutical Analysis (2015) and Pentecostal-Charismatic Prophecy: Empirical-Theological Analysis (Peter Lang, 2017).
