What is the role of the Holy Spirit in the interpretation of Holy Scripture? This is a topic that is related to the contextualization of the gospel in new situations and cultures. According to Pinnock the work of the Spirit in illuminating the Scriptures is underemphasized in theological literature. He sees it as part of a proper hermeneutical theory. He offers a number of ideas to further the consideration of the topic.

One of the features of modern society is pluralism, and in particular religious pluralism. Should Christianity have a more inclusive approach towards other religions? The Lausanne II Conference placed the matter clearly on the table and agenda of evangelicalism.

The loss of God in modern society is a theological problem. How do we speak about God? This problem is multi-dimensional. Clark explores three of these dimensions.

In this paper Pinnock develops his apologetic thesis that if the gospel cannot be sustained and defended by historical data, it cannot be sustained and believed at all.
