Against Oneness Pentecostalism: An Exegetical-Theological Critique

This dissertation provides an exegesis of key biblical texts and demonstrates by virtue of critical interaction with Oneness exegesis and hermeneutics, that the theology proper of Oneness Pentecostalism does not accord with the God revealed in the Bible. Using the biblical text as the standard by which all doctrine is adjudicated, it will be argued that the Oneness Pentecostal doctrine of God does not have continuity with the nature of God. Rather, Scripture supports trinitarianism in so far as it presents a divine Son who eternally preexisted his birth and was co-existent with his Father.
