This post is part of a periodic series on “Current Pentecostal Scholarship.”
In my last post, you may have noticed that I have started a YouTube channel. I plan to post a new video every couple of months.
In today’s video, I interview theologian Dr. Peter Althouse from Southeastern University, Florida. I asked him about how Pentecostals have historically thought about eschatology (last days / end times) and about how Pentecostal theologians are thinking about eschatology in current scholarship.

Great video Dr! I really like Peter’s stuff. I my analogies of the now/not yet is appetizer / entre + dessert and movie trailer/ release of the full length feature!
Thank you for this conversion. Dr. Althouse’s work has been very influential in my theological formation on this topic and in my writing on Pentecostal eschatology. Many of the issues he brings out I engage in my thesis. I will say, though, the particular narrative he describes of the waning of the latter rain will need to be revisited based on my research.
Good stuff. While I am now a Baptist, I began my ministry while in the PAOC. I was taught a very narrow view of eschatology and it is encouraging to hear about the richness of more recent reflection.
WOW! Does this mean that one can now openly question our eschatology and challenge dispensationalism while still holding a PAOC credential? Looks like I was born 40 years too early! 🙂
