Ecumenism --Contributors --IndexWith its remarkable ability to adapt to many different cultures, Pentecostalism has become the world's fastest growing religious movement. More than five hundred million adherents worldwide have reshaped Christianity itself. Yet some fundamental questions in the study of global Pentecostalism, and even in what we call "Pentecostalism," remain largely unaddressed. Bringing together leading scholars in the social sciences, history, and theology, this unique volume explores these questions for this rapidly growing, multidisciplinary field of study. A valuable resource for anyone studying new forms of Christianity, it offers insights and guidance on both theoretical and methodological issues. The first section of the book examines such topics as definitions, essentialism, postcolonialism, gender, conversion, and globalization. The second section features contributions from those working in psychology, anthropology, sociology, and history. The third section traces the boundaries of theology from the perspectives of pneumatology, ecumenical studies, inter-religious relations, and empirical theology.Anthropology of Christianity ;10.PentecostalismCongressesChristianityCongressesanthropologists.christianity.ecumenical studies.empirical theology.essentialism.forms of christianity.global religion.methodology.multidisciplinary.pentecostalism.pneumatology.postcolonialism.psychology.religion and culture.religious anthropology.religious historians.religious history.religious movements.religious scholars.religious studies.religious theory.social sciences.sociologists.sociology.theology.world cultures.PentecostalismChristianity270.8/2Anderson Allan1502388MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910787593903321Studying global Pentecostalism3730111UNINA
