Pentecostal theologians are increasingly aware that there cannot be an authentic pentecostal theology without a distinct pentecostal epistemology, or at least an epistemology that is compatible with pentecostal spirituality, beliefs, and practices. To date, Amos Yong and James Smith have arguably provided the most philosophically mature pentecostal theories of knowledge. They have not only constructed insightful theological epistemologies based on pentecostal presuppositions, but seem also to have provided pentecostal versions of “correlationist” and “postliberal” approaches to theological epistemology. The purpose of this article is to assess the pentecostal epistemologies of Yong and Smith, offer evaluative comments on their approaches, and suggest that pentecostal theologians/philosophers would significantly benefit from familiarizing themselves with and building on the epistemologies of Yong and Smith as the search for pentecostal epistemologies continues.
