This article provides an Evangelical response to When God Talks Back by Tanya Luhrmann. Her book gives a unique perspective on Charismatic practices and provides a way of understanding the Vineyard Church, from a psychological anthropologist’s perspective. This response contends that, despite some areas of agreement, Luhrmann’s reasons for the Vineyard’s practices are inadequate, and argues that the Vineyard’s discernment practices echo a biblical wisdom tradition. Not only this but also that this tradition is based upon a different interpretation of the image of God, which understands the imago Dei as a ‘wisdom-image’. These ideas are developed through the exegesis of Gen. 1:1, 26; Prov. 3:19–20; 8:22–23; and selected passages in Colossians, in order to give support for this interpretation of the imago Dei, to engage with Luhrmann, and to justify the Vineyard Church’s practices.
