This hermeneutics enable the local churches to make sense of spirit-world that includes the Creator-Spirit, the ancestral spirits and shamanic spirits of nature, including the intermediary role of the shamans and healers. The first section will explain an emergent hermeneutics is post-colonial for reasons that the indigenous peoples around the world are living in nation-states that have gained independence from the North Atlantic colonial powers. At the same time, this hermeneutics is post-mission- territorial as the indigenous peoples who have embraced Christianity have become the members of the local churches. The second section deals with an understanding of the Creative Spirit (ruah elohim) through a critical correlational dialogue with indigenous religiosity, Chinese Cosmology, modern science, eastern and western cosmology. This conversation hopes to establish the rightful place of shamanic pneumatology amidst the multivocal discourses. The articulation of an emergent shamanic pneumatology of sacred sustainability will be offered in the final section."engWith permission of the license/copyright holderPostcolonialMissionHermeneuticsLiberative Shamanic PneumatologySacred sustainabilityReligious ethicsCommunity ethicsLifestyle ethicsIntercultural and contextual theologiesMissiologyPostcolonial theologiesArticle
