Pentecostal scholarship is conscientiously examining gaps in Western theology in regard to pneumatology. This article describes the phenomena of pentecostal dreams and visions ( D/V s) in the African context as significant to that dialogue, pointing to their spiritual value in many African churches. I suggest that they can be seen as existential samples of the pneumatological imagination as put forth by Amos Yong and also as described by Nimi Wariboko. I use Yong’s theology to argue that the pneumatological imagination in African contexts readdresses the experience of D/V s, which are normative phenomena in indigenous religions, through the hermeneutical interplay of Spirit-Word-community. I also suggest that the experience of D/V s satisfies Wariboko’s definition of grace, that they are subject to his politics of spiritual warfare, and that their interpretation and application exemplify the transformation of “ontological and epistemological coordinates of existence” by “piercing the veil” of phenomenality for the experience of the noumenal.

“揭开面纱”与非洲的梦想与愿景

五旬节式奖学金正在认真研究西方神学在气动方面的差距。本文介绍了非洲背景下的五旬节梦和幻象（D / V s）现象对该对话具有重要意义，并指出了它们在许多非洲教堂中的精神价值。我建议可以将它们看作是阿莫斯·勇（Amos Yong）提出的，也是尼米·瓦里博科（Nimi Wariboko）所描述的关于气动学想象力的存在样本。我用Yong的神学论证，非洲环境中的气动学想象力通过灵语社区的诠释学相互作用重新解决了D / V的体验，D / V是土著宗教中的规范现象。我还建议D / V的经历满足Wariboko对宽限期的定义，并应服从他的属灵战役政治，
