This article revisits the issue of historiography in Pentecostal studies, seeking to connect this
debate to recent theories of history coming from postcolonial and poststructuralist thought.
I argue that the historian of Pentecostalism should seek not only to reconstruct past events,
but, more than that, to offer a historical analysis of Pentecostal historiography. By drawing on
four related theoretical insights into history and applying them to a concrete example from
Ethiopian Pentecostalism, I aim to contribute to the epistemological reflection of Pentecostal
historiography
