Why is it important?
Pentecostalism presumes God intervenes in human affairs and so must also allow for the possibility of history writing that is open to God's activity.
Perspectives
Much modern history writing operates on a secular or materialistic presumption but I wanted to leave open the possibility of writing history that started from a different presumption.
