    Book SynopsisThe New Testament shows the early Church as having both stable institutions and dynamic growth in charismatic ministries. In the twenty-first century, although many historically-determined inessentials have changed, the Churchs structure remains fundamentally the same. This study looks at New Testament ministries (Eph 4:11-12), Baptism in the Holy Spirit, and the history of the gift of tongues from the Acts of the Apostles through to the charismatics of our time, to see how these elements contribute to the fast-paced, global phenomenon we call the pentecostalization of modern Christianity. Our research shows that much of what appears to be novel in current ecclesial movements is the fruit of charisms that have been poured out from the beginning. The disciples of Christ are still bringing out of his treasure what is new and old.

  • Brill Dreams and Visions in African Pentecostal

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisEuro-Western descriptions of knowledge and its sources fall short of accommodating the spiritual, experiential terrain of the imagination. What of the embodied, affective knowing that characterizes Pentecostal epistemology, that is, the distinctive Pentecostal-Charismatic knowing derived from dreams and visions (D/Vs)? In this stunning ethnographic work, the author merges African scholarship with an investigation of what visioners say about the significance of their D/Vs for Christian life and spirituality. Revealing data showcases case studies for their biblical and theological articulations of the value of D/V experiences and affirms them as sources of Pentecostal love, ministerial agency, and the missionary impulse.Trade ReviewAlthough established wisdom in scholarship has confirmed the assertion that Pentecostalism has blossomed across sub-Saharan Africa precisely because the movement resonates with Africa’s primal cosmologies, this thesis has not been tested in relation to African Pentecostalism’s appropriation of dreams and visions. Anna Droll’s Dreams and Visions in African Pentecostal Spirituality not only probe these issues in West Africa – Pentecostalism’s epicenter – but explores how the movement’s practices reflects contexts similar to what obtains in the Ancient Near East. By this tripartite exploration of the biblical material, African primal worldview and the espoused theologies of key Pentecostal actors in West Africa, Droll’s volume succeeds in showcasing how the theologies about dreams and visions produced by African Pentecostalism interacts with these sources to make sense to constituents. - Dr Bosco Bangura, Catholic University of Leuven and Protestant Theological University, Groningen There is no better study of the narratives of dream and vision in African Pentecostal spirituality than this brilliant book. Droll offers a perceptive appraisal of their epistemic valence, missiological import, spiritual meaning, and theological framing. This book is a nuanced and delicate study of a pentecostal way of knowing. - Nimi Wariboko, Boston UniversityTable of ContentsAcknowledgements List of Figures and Tables Abbreviations 1 Dreams and Visions in African Pentecostal Spirituality  1 Dreams, Visions, and Pentecostal Epistemology 1.1 Dreams and Visions in Africa: Piercing the Veil for Pentecostal Knowing 1.2 A Dream in Dar es Salaam  2 Methodology: Mark J.

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisThis book on Egyptian Pentecostalism is considered the first integrated monograph on the topic. It invites scholars and students of Religions, Renewal Studies, and Pentecostalism around the world to discover a new arena of research. Due to the sociocultural perspective of this study on Pentecostalism in Egypt, the book also invites sociologists and scholars who study sociocultural and religious context of the Middle East and North Africa to add new trajectories to their studies. No doubt that this study reveals what was concealed for decades regarding movements and revivals that broke out in Egyptian cities and villages! A must-read!Trade ReviewIn his Egyptian Pentecostalism, Tharwat Adly has written what surely will be the definitive work on Egyptian Pentecostalism, a subject that has been long overlooked. This book is thoroughly researched, documented and above all well-written.

    Book SynopsisThe Congo Evangelistic Mission (CEM) was one of the most successful classical Pentecostal missions in Africa. Maxwell examines the roles of CEM missionaries and their African collaborators in producing knowledge about Africa, illustrating the nature of discourses of identity in colonial Africa and how the Luba shaped missionary research.Trade Review“An original and lucid contribution to the study of missionary Christianity in colonial Africa, Religious Entanglements compellingly demonstrates the influence of missionary forms of knowledge on Africanist anthropology, history, art history, and philosophy. Through nuanced, historical, and context-specific research, it also furthers our understanding of the emergence of African ethnicities and African Christianity. With eloquent and precise prose, Maxwell makes a stunning contribution. This is one of the most compelling accounts of mission Christianity and African society in colonial Africa in over two decades.”—David Gordon, Bowdoin College “An enlightening study of Pentecostal missionary activities in Central Africa from the late 19th to mid-20thcentury. . . Brimming with nuance and acute historical detail, this makes clear that the Luba reception of such missionaries as Burton was an active process of fusion and exchange.”—Publishers Weekly “Religious Entanglements makes a major contribution to both African studies and the history of missions, thanks to its multiple perspectives, its concern with both contexts and comparisons, its interdisciplinary approach (from anthropology to photography), and its careful distinctions between different group responses to the mission. A most impressive study.”—Peter Burke, Emeritus Professor of Cultural History, University of Cambridge “A brilliant, capacious, field-defining book. Maxwell not only rewrites the history of evangelical Christianity in Central Africa; he also rethinks the nature and meaning of colonialism itself, illuminating the complex ‘entanglements’ through which Europeans and Africans co-created their worlds.”—James Campbell, Stanford UniversityTable of ContentsList of Illustrations Acknowledgments List of Abbreviations Introduction 1 Primitivism and Pragmatism in the Making of the Congo Evangelistic Mission 2 Luba Transformations Prior to 1910 3 Continuity and Change in the Luba Christian Movement 4 Missions and the State: The Challenge of Pentecostalism 5 “Acquainting Oneself with the Enemy”: Making Knowledge about Africa 6 Pathways to Knowledge 7 The Creation of Lubaland: Missionary Science and Christian Literacy in the Making of the Luba Katanga 8 Finding God among the Luba: Missionary Conversions and Epiphanies Postscript: Postcolonial Developments Conclusion: Pentecostalism, Knowledge Creation, and Religious Change Notes Sources and Bibliography Index

    Book SynopsisDo you need to experience Resurrection or Revival in any area of your life?Many Jesus followers are sleepwalking through their Christian lives. They wear a smile, attend church gatherings, and try their best to make it through, but they don''t really expect answered prayers, breakthroughs, or a miraculous change in their situations. Why? Disappointment and disillusionment. The Bible calls this hope deferred. What we hoped for did not happen, and we are left with hopes and dreams that are dead. But remember: we serve the God of resurrection life and revival!Robert Henderson is the bestselling author of the Courts of Heaven series, and in this latest book he challenges you to pray for miracle reversals in every

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisA spirit of religious revival blazed across the United States just after 1900. With a focus on Holy Spirit power, early adherents stirred an enthusiastic response, first at a Bible school in Topeka and then in a small mission on Asuza Street in Los Angeles. Almost immediately, the movement spread to Houston, Chicago, and then northeastern urban centers. By the early 1910s the fervor had reached most parts of the United States, Canada, and northern Mexico, and eventually the converts called themselves pentecostals. Today there are pentecostals all over the world. From the beginning the movement was unusually diverse: women and African Americans were active in many of the early fellowships, and although some groups were segregated, some were interracial. Everytwhere, ordinary people passionately devoted themselves to salvation, Holy Ghost baptism evidenced by speaking in tongues, divine healing, and anticipation of the Lord's imminent return. This movement saw itself as leaderless, depending on individual conversion and a radical equality of souls — or, as early devotees would say, on the Holy Spirit. But a closer look reveals a host of forceful, clear-eyed leaders. This volume offers twenty biographical portraits of the first-generation pioneers who wove the different strands of Holy Spirit revivalism into a coherent and dramatically successful movement.Trade ReviewThis book fills signficant gaps in the historical account of the early leaders of the Pentecostal movement. The solidy researched and well-written essays serve not only as portraits of the movement's early leaders, but also as a set of windows through which readers can look from different angles at one of the most important and dynamic developments in the religious world during the twentieth century." —;William C. Martin, author of With God on Our Side: The Rise of the Religious Right in America"This book will fill a great void. . . . What is impressive is the range of subjects: the balance between men and women, between whites and non-whites, and between areas of geographical work." —Charles H. Lippy, author of Pluralism Comes of Age: American Religious Culture in the Twentieth Century
