Publisher's Synopsis
At the current rate of growth, some researchers predict there will be one billion Pentecostals by 2025, with most of them located in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. In this volume professor Marius Nel speaks his mind from an African perspective on what is distinctive about Pentecostal Theology in contradistinction to other theological paradigms. What makes a Pentecostal spirituality and hermeneutic different? Africa has much to contribute to the discussion of Pentecostal Theology, and this voice of Nel will not only stimulate this discussion, but will co-determine the progress and outcome. Marius Nel is Professor of New Testament at North-West University in Potchefstroom, South Africa. (Series: Theology in Africa) [Subject: African Studies, Religious Studies, Pentecostal Theology]
