Abstract	:	This article continues the author’s journey of forming an ‘orthopathic hermeneutic’ with special attention to Pentecostalism and the ‘Texts of Terror’. It examines the narrative of Jephthah, his daughter, and her sacrifice as found in Judges 11. Texts of Terror like Jephthah’s daughter’s story have been long neglected, rejected, or protected by ministers and theologians alike. With the work of Pentecostal scholars such as R. Moore, C. Johns, and C. Green in mind, Cole identifies that Judges 11 and similarly terrifying texts can be used today to make meaning in the Church. By examining our own desires for and in light of the text, the Spirit can make meaning for one’s own life by revealing the heart of the reader. In such, the orthopathic reader is called to conformity with the compassion of Christ.
