AN EXHAUSTIVE BIBLIOGRAPHY OF PENTECOSTAL HERMENEUTICS

MICHAEL BUBAN, MTh

This bibliography is intended as an exercise in the early stage of my preliminary

research on the intersection between Pentecostal theology and biblical interpretation. It’s a
working draft and it should grow not only in length, but also in focus and quality.
Before proceeding you should know this:

1. I’m open to any suggestions regarding content, format and aim of this bibliography.
Please contact me via Academia or by e-mail (michael@buban.cz) even if it’s just
your impression or a small typo. All feedback is welcome.
2. I’ve decided to include all items from the concise bibliography in Martin, Lee Roy,
ed. Pentecostal Hermeneutics: A Reader. Leiden: Brill, 2013. My bibliography is
obviously dramatically revised and expanded 😎.
3. Highlighted items represent my wishlist. ❤ Non-highlighted items are within my
reach. Should you know how to get me my “unreached items” on-line under some
reasonable circumstances, please do tell me. In exchange I can help you get your
desired materials.
4. Should you need to adopt and edit this bibliography yourself, please help yourself at
https://www.zotero.org/brotherekim/items/collectionKey/5W5B5DQJ or send me a
