A Nondualistic Pentecostal Theology: Exploring Dialectics and Becoming through Amos Yong and Slavoj Žižek invites readers to consider a dialectical theology for the third millennium, grounded in nonduality and expressed from a pentecostal perspective. Amos Yong has laid a valuable foundation for such an approach, though his work stops short of fully achieving nondualism. Despite highlighting diverse voices within pentecostal theology through Pentecost-inspired themes, systematic complexity, and interdisciplinary input, Yong still speaks of God in dualistic terms. This work identifies missed opportunities to move beyond dualism and addresses them through a coherent nondualistic framework. With the aid of Slavoj Žižek, the pentecostal imagination reconfigures the essential themes of Yong's theology, resulting in a fresh take on pentecostal theology committed to the richness of connection and the expansive potential of becoming.

Moffatt takes Yong's theology to a place that is more-than-Yong, yet it is inherent to Yong's thought, intrinsic to its excessive core. Spencer Moffatt, in reading Yong to regain or uncover the creative impulses that Yong ignored in the actualization of his thought, exposes Yong's oeuvre to a new audience of critical theorists and radical theologians. In doing this, Moffatt himself shines (abides) in the glory of continental-philosophy-informed pentecostal theology. This book ultimately announces Moffatt as a careful and rigorous thinker and a powerhouse in the catalytic discipline of pentecostal philosophical theology.

This book requires us to rethink not only our views, but our assumptions. By providing a critical reading of Yong's pentecostal theology alongside a constructive proposal for Žižek's philosophy, Moffatt presents a robust new model for overcoming dualism in the name of greater coherence between theology and philosophy. Challenging yet invitational, this book positions Moffatt as a thinker who is changing the landscape of philosophical theology in real time.
