This work first examines the theological streams of influence that constitute Brethren theology—Anabaptism and Radical Pietism—with particular focus given to key thinkers and leaders. It then explores the nuances of what came to be American Fundamentalism and Protestant Liberalism of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, which provide important context to the thought of J. Allen Miller (1866–1935), a central Ashland Brethren theologian of that period. Miller’s theology demonstrates sympathy with both poles of the theological spectrum but remains distinct as a thoughtful mediation between these two extremes. Miller’s theological approach, termed “Word-Spirit Communal Revelationalism,” consists in his particular theological epistemology and biblical hermeneutics. When Miller’s theological witness moves into conversation with American evangelicalism, it proves helpful for the Ashland Brethren as they engage with the contemporary American evangelical landscape. His witness assists Brethren and other American evangelicals in offering a corrective to several pathologies or distortions identified within American evangelicalism. His theological method assists the larger American evangelical movement with tools for mediation over against polarization.

The investigation centres on the role of the Spirit in Revelation, which the author considers is best defined as the Spirit of Prophecy. A survey of scholarship on the pneumatology of the Apocalypse is followed by a study of intertextual connections. The author’s own religious context within Pentecostalism then informs a possible hermeneutic that is faithful to the ethos of the movement. Biblical and literary studies are situated within the context of a Pentecostal community as attention is paid to the prophecy concerning the temple and the witnesses in Rev 11. This key passage is shown to form the theological as well as the literary centre of the Spirit’s role in Revelation.

Excerpt from The Revelation of the Holy Spirit The class of persons for whom this Essay is strictly intended is not, of course, theologians, but men and women who, without having received a theological education, yet are or may be interested in the results and processes of Theology. It is not, therefore, an exact or elaborate treatise, but it is designed to serve a special purpose. For the danger of the Church to-day is that Theology may cease to occupy her proper place as the queen of the sciences, and may come to seem a study or pursuit in itself, the affair of mere specialists, without relation to the practical issues of modern life. For then, however much the clergy may insist upon doctrine, the intellectual energetic world will hold aloof from it, and will give it no part in their thoughts and affections, or will regard it as something separable from religion. And the only remedy is to bring home to the world that Theology vitally affects the intellectual and moral problems of life.
