The title of Chris' thesis is 'Suffering and Theodicy in the Apocalypse: A Pentecostal Exploration', and the research explores suffering and theodicy in the Apocalypse by means of a Pentecostal reading strategy that employs Wirkungsgeschichte and narrative analysis. The implications that emerge from this exploration were used to make overtures toward the construction of a Pentecostal theology of suffering that is apropos for Pentecostal contexts.
Commenting on his time as a doctoral researcher, Chris said: “My experience at Bangor University has been a rich time of educational formation that has prepared me for my work in academia. I am profoundly grateful for my doktorvater’s remarkable supervision and for the camaraderie of my colleagues that supported me the entire way.”
Congratulations, Dr Palmer!
