Content of the Module | This course will consider a theology of missions from a Pentecostal/Charismatic perspective. The course will specifically explore the missional understanding of the Trinitarian God and His Church. The role of the Holy Spirit in mission is a major feature of Pentecostal theology of mission. Therefore, the course will specifically address such topics as the role glossolalia/xenolalia, signs and wonders (power evangelism), spiritual gifts, and prophetic evangelism. Because Early Pentecostals had an eschatological urgency, the course will seek to develop a contemporary theology on the topic. Since mission happens in context, a theological understanding of culture from a Pentecostal perspective will also be explored. Finally, the course will consider a Pentecostal theology of missions and revival, which has missiological and eschatological implications. |
