Abstract
"Is it possible for Pentecostals, utterly dependent upon the Spirit for empowerment, to practice a moral imagination that envisions a future with creative and innovative social action programs? I believe the answer is yes. These programs, the fruit of linking theological reflection, the authority of Scripture, and the reality of concrete human experience, can make a difference in the individual lives of people and even in civil society. A moral imagination that includes Spirit baptism as an empowering focus in pursuit of justice could be a unique contribution of the Pentecostal tradition to evangelical social praxis."
