Abstract
Much has already been said in the preceding pages, especially in the editor’s introduction and conclusion, about the interdisciplinary character of this book series. The chapters in this initial volume are interdisciplinary within the specific field of theological studies, deploying approaches from across this domain: historical theology, spiritual formation, renewal studies, philosophy, homiletics, ecumenics, pentecostal-charismatic studies, hermeneutics, and systematic theology, among others. None of these methods are necessarily exclusive of the others, and each opens up to historical retrieval, contemporary application, or constructive reflection—or all three! In all of these senses, The Holy Spirit and the Christian Life: Historical, Interdisciplinary, and Renewal Perspectives is an exemplary initiator of the CHARIS series.

Notes
The work of Stanley M. Burgess comes to mind, especially his Christian Peoples of the Spirit: A Documentary History of Pentecostal Spirituality from the Early Church to the Present (New York: New York University Press, 2011).
For the former, see Tanya Luhrmann, When God Talks Back: Understanding the American Evangelical Relationship with God (New York: Alfred Knopf, 2012);
Colleen Shantz, Paul in Ecstasy: The Neurobiology of the Apostle’s Life and Thought (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2009).
For an overview of her work, see Amos Yong, “What’s Love Got to Do with It? The Sociology of Love and the Renewal of Modern Pentecostalism,” Journal of Pentecostal Theology 21, no. 1 (2012): 113–34.
For example, Paul O’Neill, City of God: Christian Citizenship in Postwar Guatemala (Berkeley: University of California Press, 2009)
Katherine Attanasi and Amos Yong (eds.), Pentecostalism and Prosperity: The Socioeconomics of the Global Charismatic Movement, Christianities of the World 1 (New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2012).
India as a hotbed of charismatic televangelistic activity has attracted two recent studies: Pradip Thomas, Strong Religion, Zealous Media: Christian Fundamentalism and Communication in India (London: Sage, 2008);
Jonathan D. James, McDonaldisation, Masala McGospel and Om Economics: Televangelism in Contemporary India (London: Sage, 2010).
As manifest in David Westerlund (ed.), Global Pentecostalism: Encounters with Other Religious Traditions (London: I. B. Tauris, 2009).
Of course, my answer is yes, as I have published numerous books on this range of related topics, most recently Amos Yong, Hospitality and the Other: Pentecost, Christian Practices, and the Neighbor, Faith Meets Faith series (Maryknoll, NY: Orbis Books, 2008).
For example, James K. A. Smith, The Fall of Interpretation: Philosophical Foundations for a Creational Hermeneutic, 2nd ed. (Downers Grove, IL: IVP Academic, 2012);
Kenneth Archer, A Pentecostal Hermeneutic for the Twenty First Century: Spirit, Scripture and Community (New York: T&T Clark, 2004);
Kevin L. Spawn and Archie T. Wright (eds.), Spirit and Scripture: Exploring a Pneumatic Hermeneutic (London and New York: T&T Clark, 2012);
Amos Yong, Spirit-Word — Community: Theological Hermeneutics in Trinitarian Perspective (Burlington, VT and Aldershot, UK: Ashgate Publishing Ltd., and Eugene, OR: Wipf and Stock, 2002).
