Abstract

Early Pentecostal literature contains many narratives of miracles of individuals being raised from the dead. While attention has tended to their factual or evidential value, including to some extent in the narratives themselves, this article examines the interpretations given to such miraculous events in Pentecostal theology. Specifically, it finds four major trends in interpretation in the literature: first, the meaning of the resurrection miracle as evidential, as a ‘proof’; second, the miracle as a sign of God’s victorious power over death and/or his mercy for the deceased and his/her family; third, the resurrection as prefigured in earlier miracles, especially Jesus’ raising of Lazarus; and finally, the miraculous return to life as a return to the realm of death, in which it is clear this event is not the final victory.
五旬节派神学中复活奇迹的意义
早期的五旬节文学包含了许多关于个人从死亡中复活的奇迹的叙述。虽然人们的注意力倾向于它们的事实或证据价值,包括在某种程度上的叙事本身,但本文考察了五旬节神学中对这些奇迹事件的解释。具体而言,它发现了文献中四个主要的解释趋势:第一,复活奇迹作为证据的意义,作为“证明”;第二,奇迹是上帝战胜死亡和/或怜悯死者及其家人的象征;第三,早期奇迹中所预示的复活,特别是耶稣养育拉撒路;最后,奇迹般地回到了生命,回到了死亡的境界,很明显,这一事件并不是最终的胜利。
