dc.description.abstractIt is difficult to describe the relationship of Pentecostals to the natural sciences concerning spiritual experiences and practice as proposed by Amos Yong (2011) a pentecostal scholar, since most Pentecostals seemingly advocate a fundamentalist worldview. This often results in epistemic boundaries vis-à-vis the value of natural science in better understanding spiritual experiences and practice. Yet, one cannot ignore that the natural sciences are making tremendous progress in understanding the cognitive side to these experiences. Admittedly, how to engage faith and science meaningfully within a fundamental worldview on this, is challenging.en_ZA
