Description / Abstract

We have received substantial gifts in Dr. Rob Fringer’s paper, “Broken-Holy People” and Dr. Stanley Bhebhe’s paper, “God’s Eternal Project.” I offer this response as a means of amplification and clarification. Through four brief movements, I seek to read the theme of brokenness (Fringer) through “the essential ingredient of spiritual dynamism” (Bhebhe, 6) by: 1) issuing a resounding affirmation for a holiness theology moving beyond perfectionism, 2) supporting an exploration of ‘brokenness’ as a theological category, 3) calling for additional clarity around the term ‘broken,’ and, 4) issuing a constructive suggestion for such clarity through a pneumatological reading of John 20, giving particular attention to a “new community being forged by the Holy Spirit” (Bhebhe, 3).

A response paper for the Global Theology Conference to be held in Pilar, Argentina, in April 2024.
