<![CDATA[Academic literature within Pentecostal circles reveals a lack of adequate theological reflection on the Lord’s Supper. Pentecostal theologians themselves acknowledge the limited development and theological contribution in this area. This study seeks to offer a constructive theological contribution by engaging in a conceptual dialogue between John Calvin’s view and Pentecostal theology regarding the Lord’s Supper.
