Exploring Mysticism in Pentecostalism

In this episode of the ‘Ask a Theologian’ podcast, Dave interviews Dr. Daniel Castelo, a Duke University professor focusing on Pentecostalism and Christian mysticism. They discuss how Pentecostalism blends with mystic traditions, approaches to interpreting scripture, and the challenges of balancing a theology of healing with the reality of suffering. Dr. Castelo shares insights on the importance of theological education, theodicy, and the concept of holiness. The conversation also touches on navigating contemporary social and cultural issues through a Christlike approach of humility and sacrificial love.
