Stephen Hunt, The Florida ‘Outpouring’ Revival by webmaster, last updated: 2009-06-03 23:11
A decade after the neo-Pentecostal revivals of the 1990s a fresh wave of revival, characterised by miraculous healings and evangelism, became identified with what was colloquially referred to as the ‘Florida Outpouring’. Unlike the earlier so-called Toronto Blessing and the Brownsville revivals, that at Lakeland, Florida, was relatively short-lived. It became practically synonymous with the charismatic personality of the healing evangelist, Todd Bentley. This paper considers the Florida ‘Outpouring’ and Bentley’s prophetic role in forging revivalism within the framework of neo-Pentecostal eschatology and thus providing a sense of continuity with past and future revivals.
Miguel Ángel Mansilla, De la caja del diablo a la caja de Dios by webmaster, last updated: 2009-06-03 23:11
Neopentecostalism can be understood as a form of religious enchantment, informed by eschatology and embodied in song, dance and positive confession. The messages and songs emphasise intimate and touching individualism, the search for the material and the present. Divine blessing is a material blessing: health and wealth. It is an electronic from of religion that is mediated via television, radio and cyberspace.
Research Paper: Pentecostalism in Nazi Germany by sbrenner, last updated: 2009-02-28 17:38
Pentecostalism in Germany in the time of Third Reich cannot be treated as a whole “movement”, because till the end of World War II, the German Pentecostal Movement, with few exceptions, consisted predominantly of groupings with strong leaders. As Pentecostalism in Germany emerged at the beginning of the 20th century, also some fears and uncertainties concerning Pentecostal spirituality precipitated, which eventually cumulated in the „Berliner Erklärung“ (Berlin Declaration) and led to “special circumstances” in Germany. In spite of all of that the German Pentecostal „Movement“ experienced further growth during the time oft he Weimar Republic, only to be interrupted by the “breaking in” of the Third Reich. A number of congregations were forbidden; others only could stay alive by forming an alliance with the Baptists, e.g. the Elim-Movement. In Berlin the „Deutsche Volksmission“ remained the only group that was not forbidden, because the „Volksmission“ was not considered to be “Pentecostal” in the eyes of the authorities. During this time the Gestapo forbade some public gatherings, spied on church services, and hindered the printing and distribution of tracts and magazines. In consequence, some groups had to meet in the underground. All in all we can say that through the war situation and the repression of the Gestapo, Pentecostal spirituality and evangelism was hindered and at times virtually impossible. Only after the war a new freedom for evangelism and church growth arose. Eventually the Pentecostals were allowed once again to conduct meetings and soon unification aspirations developed.

New Paradigms in Pentecostal Education: a very short introduction by wkay, last updated: 2009-02-27 11:28
This paper was given at the 2009 Glopent conference in Birmingham. It provides a brief overview of Pentecostal education and notes its diversification over time. The paper makes the assumption that, wherever Pentecostal education is found, it should be seen in the context of the educational systems of the country where it is located, the early Pentecostal colleges being a form of post-secondary education in an era when tertiary education was far rarer than it is today.

Movimiento pentecostal y comunidades de base en América Latina: La recepción de conceptos teológicos de liberación a través de la teología pentecostal. Editado por Michael Bergunder by Bergunder, last updated: 2009-01-11 21:24
A lo largo del siglo XX, el movimiento pentecostal se ha desarrollado como uno de los elementos del cristianismo más dinámicos a nivel mundial. Algunos observadores calculan que el 20 % de la cristiandad mundial pertenece al cristianismo pentecostal-carismático. Uno de los centros de crecimiento pentecostal es América Latina. Según cálculos conservadores, entre 11 y 15 % de los habitantes de América Latina eran protestantes, de los cuales la mayoría de ellos serían pentecostales. Las estadísticas de los últimos decenios muestran un constante crecimiento de los protestantes entre la población, lo cual en primera instancia se atribuye a los grandes éxitos de la propaganda misionera del movimiento pentecostal. Incluso, hay observadores que señalan que en algunos países de América Central en un futuro cercano los católicos ya no serán la mayoría de la población. Es usual que el movimiento pentecostal latinoamericano sea etiquetado con una serie de estereotipos estigmatizadores. Así, los pentecostales en América Latina son caracterizados, por ejemplo, como ayudantes en el cumplimiento de los derechos religiosos en los Estados Unidos, como tentación para los más pobres entre los pobres, como desinteresados en los cambios sociales o como ateológicos, por nombrar algunos. Muchas veces, debido a dichas percepciones, la socialmente crítica Teología de la Liberación, así como las comunidades de base política y socialmente inspiradas por ésta, son vistas como antípodas naturales en relación al movimiento pentecostal. Ambos movimientos suelen aparecer como irreconciliables. Sin embargo, esta imagen de la supuesta confrontación entre comunidades de base y el movimiento pentecostal no corresponde al conocimiento científico. Nuevas investigaciones provenientes de las Ciencias Políticas y las Ciencias Sociales entregan una visión muy diferente del movimiento pentecostal latinoamericano, como se muestra en el anexo. La discusión ecuménica en relación al movimiento pentecostal latinoamericano sufre de un problema aún más grave: no se toma en cuenta cómo el movimiento pentecostal se interpreta a sí mismo. El desconocimiento de esto conduce automáticamente hacia argumentos erróneos. Este libro tiene la explícita intención de acabar con estos malentendidos. Las reflexiones teológicas de importantes teólogos pentecostales son presentadas en versión alemana. En vista de la supuesta confrontación entre el movimiento pentecostal y las comunidades de base, se eligieron sobre todo aquellos artículos que atestiguan una intensa recepción teológica pentecostal de planteamientos teológico-liberadores. No tomar esto en cuenta significa que es imposible un juicio responsable del movimiento pentecostal latinoamericano. Esperamos haber logrado una introducción satisfactoria acerca del estado actual de la teología pentecostal. Si se desea ampliar la lectura las lectoras y los lectores interesados son remitidos a datos bibliográficos que posibiliten esto. La meta de esta publicación es estimular una discusión acerca del movimiento pentecostal llevada a cabo por el espíritu ecuménico.

Gerald W. King: Streams of Convergence by webmaster, last updated: 2008-11-11 21:55
This paper sketches a broad outline of the relationships governing fundamentalism, modernism, and Pentecostalism in the first half of the twentieth century in the United States. Fundamentalism and Pentecostalism were tangentially aligned through a common nineteenth century evangelical ethos via the holiness movement. Modernism shared with Pentecostalism certain aspects of Pietism but diverged dramatically in its rationalistic approach to Scripture. Fundamentalism and modernism agreed in this rationalist endeavour but parted over the role of the supernatural in Christianity. A mutual distrust of modernism and their shared evangelical ethos led ultimately to cooperation between fundamentalists and Pentecostals by the beginnings of World War II.
Richard Burgess: Nigerian Pentecostal Theology in Global Perspective by webmaster, last updated: 2008-11-11 21:55
This paper discusses the nature of Nigerian Pentecostal theology and its contributions to intercultural theology, with particular reference to deliverance and success-oriented theologies. It suggests that Nigerian Pentecostal theologies resonate with the search for spiritual power in traditional piety. However, they are elaborated in forms that are consistent with global Pentecostal culture and modern modes of living, and are practical and progressive in orientation.
Cecil M. Robeck, Jr.: "On Becoming a Christian" by webmaster, last updated: 2008-11-11 21:55
This paper reviews the fifth round of discussions in the International Roman Catholic – Pentecostal Dialogue by closely following and analyzing the final report “On Becoming a Christian: Insights from Scripture and the Patristic Writings”. Beginning with an introduction about the dialogue as a whole and some remarks regarding the selection of the subject for the fifth round, the analysis focuses on the five main sections on the report. After laying out the difficulties and differences as well as the agreements and similarities that were discovered in the fifth round, the hope is expressed that the International Roman Catholic – Pentecostal Dialogue has laid a strong foundation on which another generation of ecumenists will be able to build.

Brief History of Pentecostalism in Ethiopia by jhaustein, last updated: 2008-07-25 20:20
Pentecostal and charismatic movements are fairly young phenomenon in Ethiopia. With missionary beginnings in the 1950s, the movement first gathered momentum toward the end of the 1960s in the prayer meetings of university and High School students. Despite long periods of underground activity, especially during the Derg regime, it grew to be the main force in current Ethiopian Protestant Christianity, even reaching the Orthodox and the Catholic in small charismatic groups.
Sebastian Schüler: Unmapped Territories by webmaster, last updated: 2008-05-17 16:12
Transnationalism is located in the Pentecostal imaginary, rather than in de facto processes of migration. The purpose of this article is to re-conceptualize the formation of transnational religious networks and the concept of the third space by introducing the notion of the ‘imagined migrant’. Through this, the emergence of transnational religious networks such as prayer chains can be described as grounded in everyday religious practice and discourse.

A response to Robert Menzies article “Luke’s Understanding of Baptism in the Holy Spirit. A Pentecostal Perspective” (PentecoStudies 2007/2).
