Beyond Pentecostalism The Crisis of Global Christianity and the Renewal of the Theological Agenda
Vondey, Wolfgang
Beyond Pentecostalism The Crisis of Global Christianity and the Renewal of the Theological Agenda Wolfgang Vondey - U.S.A. William B. Eerdmans Pub. Co. 2010 - 267tr. paperback, illustrations 23 cm - Pentecostal Manifestos .
In this third volume of the Pentecostal Manifestos series, Wolfgang Vondey proposes that Pentecostalism has a crucial role to play in one of Christianity's greatest tasks-the formulation of a global theology. Vondey engages the social sciences, psychology, philosophy, and ritual and cultural studies as he addresses a postmodern theological crisis facing both the Pentecostal and the broader global community. The path forward, he argues, leads not only toward Pentecostal imagination and spirituality but also beyond it. Pentecostalism can supply a much-needed sense of ""play"" to theology and worship practices, helping the global Christian movement transcend its rational, performance-oriented, utilitarian, and institutionalized dimensions. Vondey's goal is a renewal of the theological landscape in light of the significance of Pentecostal voices, thoughts, and practices worldwide.
