Beyond Pentecostalism

Pentecostalism as a manifestation of what he calls the crisis of global Christianity, Vondey describes the elements of this crisis manifested chiefly in theology’s turn toward a performance-oriented enterprise — and suggests that the task of overcoming the crisis demands an integration of Pentecostalism in the global theological agenda. This task will inevitably push Christianity beyond the boundaries of the classical Pentecostal tradition. In fact, Vondey suggests, Pentecostalism itself is in the process of going beyond its own historical, theological, socio-cultural, and institutional boundaries. His ultimate goal is not a “pentecostalization” of Christianity but rather a renewal of the theological landscape in light of the significance of Pentecostal voices, thoughts, and practices worldwide.
