This viewpoint is in contrast with Pentecostal hermeneutics, with its emphasis on �shared experience�. The aim of this paper is to show that lament should be part and parcel of Pentecostal worship. Guidelines on how lament can be utilised in the Pentecostal Church are presented.http://verbumetecclesia.org.za/index.php/VE/article/view/7 |
