Early Pentecostal eschatology -- Acceptance of a biblicist-fundamentalist hermeneutics and its influence on Pentecostal eschatology -- A new Pentecostal hermeneutics and eschatology for a postmodern church -- The influence of a new Pentecostal hermeneutics on eschatology -- More questions about a postmodern Pentecostal hermeneutics -- Conclusions and synthesis.

The Pentecostalisation of African Christianity has been called the ""African Reformation"" of the past thirty years. African Pentecostalism is a diverse movement characterised by its emphases on Spirit baptism, divine healing, charismatic worship and eschatological expectations. This work investigates its eschatological systems in terms of its unrealised expectation of the second coming of Christ, and suggestions are presented for the movement to keep its eschatology at the heart of its impetus. This is accomplished through a hermeneutical awareness of the distinctiveness of Pentecostalism as.
