Full textAbstract:
The article defines symbolic inversion as transgressive behaviour which most traditional Zambian societies reenacted in the ritual context as a dynamic cultural form. It argues for critical reclamation and reconstitution of symbolic resistance dimension of Ndembu ritual (people of North-west Zambia) to construct transformative Holy Communion missiology within Pentecostal Assemblies of God in Zambia (PAOG-Z). The symbolic resistance of Ndembu ritual seems to have potential to give fresh perspective on how Holy Communion could function as mundus inversus (world-upside-down)- a way of resisting negative prevailing social order. Finally some contours for Holy Communion Missiology are suggested on methodological and practical level to help the community of faith refocus its Holy Communion performances to resisting anti-life and death-dealing forces.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Many scholars have examined masculinities in African societies. However, these examinations cannot be generalised across Africa, given the socio-cultural, economic, political and historical factors that infringe with religious beliefs. This article offers a case study of masculinities in a specific religious context, the Zimbabwe Assemblies of God Africa (zaoga), a Pentecostal church. It utilises zaoga’s teachings on masculinities against the background of Shona religion and culture (the dominant ethnic group in Zimbabwe). The analysis specifically focuses on the role of the Jesus-figure in the discourse on masculinity in zaoga, exploring whether Jesus presents a model of ‘redemptive masculinity’ or rather reinforces hegemonic notions of masculinity. The article highlights the ambiguity of Pentecostal masculinity and offers an overall critique of the effects of masculinities upon Pentecostal faith and practice.

AbstractThe Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada (PAOC) has had many similarities with its United States counterpart, the Assemblies of God. In fact, in its early years the PAOC was affiliated with the Assemblies of God.1 Yet the PAOC was unique in that it had a friendly relationship with the Anglican Church of Canada2 vis-à-vis the Toronto low-church Anglican theological school, Wycliffe College.3 This relationship centered on one man, a Wycliffe College graduate and Anglican priest, who was asked to be principal of the first Canadian Pentecostal Bible school in 1925, a position he held until 1950. This man was James Eustace Purdie, arguably the most influential person in the formation and development of PAOC doctrine through the theological education of Pentecostal ministers.4

This article explores the increasingly common argument that Pentecostal Christianity, far from being apolitical, is very politically engaged. I make two contributions to this discussion. First, my analysis provides a detailed account of how Pentecostal religious life serves as political engagement in an especially significant ethnographic context: Zambia, the only African country to make a constitutional declaration that it is a “Christian nation.” For Zambian Pentecostals, “the declaration” is a covenant with God made according to the principles of the prosperity gospel. By regularly reaffirming that covenant through prayer, believers do political work. My treatment of the prosperity gospel represents the second contribution of this article. Whereas others have argued that the prosperity gospel undermines public engagement, I show how its practices inform the political efforts of Zambian believers. I conclude by reflecting on how changes in the prosperity gospel may shape the future political actions of African Pentecostals.

North American pentecostal statements of doctrine were created as lowest common denominator statements upon which a large group of people can agree without too much divisiveness. A century later, it is tempting to see these statements as the final and complete word concerning a doctrine. In practice, however, practitioners experience the reality of those doctrines in numerous and multifaceted ways. This paper reflects on statements 5 and 6 of the 1916 Assemblies of God Statement of Fundamental Truths, which speak to the “pentecostal distinctive” of Spirit baptism. It compares these doctrinal statements with testimonies, sermons, and reports from the Assemblies of God periodical the Pentecostal Evangel during the five-year period from 1918, shortly after the Statement was approved, to 1922. The evidence will show the dynamic nature of beliefs and practices concerning Spirit baptism from a very early period. This dynamic and broad understanding is similar to the way modern pentecostal scholars envision Spirit baptism today.

AbstractAlthough much has been written on theologies of healing and on evangelist healers, little is known about how pentecostals in the pew pray for healing. After placing a pentecostal understanding of healing within a larger cultural context, the relationship between prayer and healing is explored through a survey of 1827 adherents from 21 Assemblies of God (AG) congregations. The survey data will be used to provide descriptive answers to basic questions about pentecostal healing in America, including: (1) to what extent do pentecostals claim experiences of divine healing; (2) what are the socio-demographic traits related to its practice within the AG; (3) how are personal reports of divine healing related to different forms of personal prayer; and (4) what is the relationship between prayer and healing prayer experiences and being used as an instrument of healing for others. The outcome of statistical analyses using key variables strongly suggests that prophetic prayer is a leading factor in accounting for differences in reported healing experiences.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis article examines the Pentecostal reception of dispensational eschatology from the perspective of its connection to other Pentecostal theological concerns. Through an investigation of representatives from the Church of God and the Assemblies of God, it is argued (1) that early Pentecostals tended to use eschatology to articulate their own ecclesiology, and (2) that it is their ecclesiological concerns that separate Pentecostals from dispensational thought while simultaneously attracting them to it. Drawing on the Eastern Orthodox idea of sobornicity, a final section of the article is devoted to teasing out the theological concerns implicit to Pentecostal ecclesiology in order to promote further dialogue with Roman Catholicism.

Full textAbstract:
This article is a general exploration of US Latinx Pentecostalism’s explicit and implicit theology of the Kingdom of God and how it can contribute to US Latinx Pentecostalism’s socio-political engagement. An overview will be provided of traditional, US Pentecostal Kingdom theology and Kingdom theology in Latin American Liberation Theology. These will be contrasted with US Latinx Pentecostal perspectives. To locate US Latinx Pentecostal theology of the Kingdom of God, this paper will first provide a wide-ranging description of a traditional evangelical hermeneutical process. Afterward, an understanding of the Kingdom that is generally taught and accepted in most evangelical contexts will be discussed. This will be followed by a survey of dominant US Pentecostal theology of the Kingdom of God through the lens of the Assemblies of God doctrinal statements and Pentecostal scholars. The life and work of various Pentecostal ministers and author Piri Thomas will provide a Kingdom perspective of US Latinx Pentecostal practitioners. I will provide an analysis based on their life experiences and some of their writings. The writings of Orlando Costas will set the stage in order to examine the works of other US Latinx Pentecostal scholars. Thereafter, the theologies of Latin American Liberation Theologians Clodivis and Leonardo Boff and others will be surveyed. Before concluding, the article will provide a historical overview of Latinx Pentecostal social engagement in the northeast US with the goal of identifying Kingdom values and priorities.

Since the founding of the Assemblies of God in 1914, world evangelization has been basic to its self-understanding and mission to the world. As its missions enterprise developed in the succeeding years, important foundations were laid which contributed to its remarkable growth after 1960. These include: (1) the ardent Pentecostal belief that the apostolic signs and wonders of the Holy Spirit will follow the proclamation of the gospel, (2) the application of indigenous church principles will result in the planting of New Testament churches, (3) the training of national leaders must receive high priority, and (4) the popular support of the home churches must be nurtured and efficiently channeled.

AbstractThird World Christianity has been experiencing exponential growth since the turn of the twentieth century. Nowhere is this renewal in Christianity more visible than Africa, where religious innovations led by indigenous Christians have mostly been Pentecostal in character. The Pentecostal movements leading the current renewal of Christianity in African countries like Ghana are autonomous, independent of both the established historic mission denominations and the older classical Pentecostal churches like the Assemblies of God. Ghanaian Pentecostalism in its various streams has adapted the global Pentecostal culture to suit the needs of the local context in ways that have changed the nature and direction of Christian mission. The traditional themes of healing, deliverance, prosperity and empowerment associated with the global Pentecostal movement have been synthesized with traditional worldviews, giving Pentecostal Christianity an added relevance in African context. This has yielded massive responses. In Pentecostal movements under discussion, therefore, one finds the ingenious ability of indigenous Christians to appropriate a phenomenon of global significance for local consumption.

Admiration for the work of the Pentecostal Assemblies of God in Zambia, coupled with the desire to record some key events in the life of the PAOG(Z) have been the key factors that inspired this work.
The repetition of mistakes of the past by the current leadership of the church has been worrisome. The negative effect caused by neglecting the history of the Church by some Pentecostal leaders, mostly due to gullibility, disregard, or even ignorance of their history, has in great measure reduced their potential for effectiveness. A true reflection of what constitutes the mission history and missionary methodologies of the Pentecostal Assemblies of God in Zambia from its inception in 1955 to the present day is vital information for Pentecostal clergy and laity.
In this thesis, I have endeavoured to trace the beginnings of the Pentecostal Church and augmenting thereto the challenges and successes. The individual contributions of the missionaries accredited to Zambia and the indigenous leaders are enumerated to enable the reader to observe how the different gifts men and women brought influenced positively the growth of the church. The role of the Pentecostal Bible College in the Pentecostal missions in Zambia has been laid down, since the College has been the nerve centre and exemplar institution of Pentecostal missions in Zambia. Given the problem of poor community participation among some Pentecostal people, the need for a theology of socio-political and economic reconstruction and the need for a change in attitude have been examined. The dissertation closes with a chapter on the various contributions of women to the growth of the Pentecostal Assemblies of God in Zambia.
The Pentecostal Church in Zambia has now become the storehouse or rendezvous of all the four shades of Pentecostalisms in the country: Classical, Charismatic, Third Wavers and Fourth Wavers. Classical Pentecostalism emerged almost one hundred years ago in Azusa in California; Charismatics, whose emphasis was on faith, began in the fifties; the Third and Fourth Wavers, whose spiritual focus is individual faith for personal improvement and livelihood, started in the eighties and the nineties. The apparent attempt to amalgamate all these compartments of Pentecostalism into an homogeneous phenomenon is stirring Zambia's Pentecost into a 'syncretism of Pentecostahsms', which I think must not go without mention, for it raises questions such as: What is it to be Pentecostal? Are these Pentecostahsms the same? Obvious they are different! What are the theological and practical implications of these teachings for the spirituality of the people? How do these Pentecostal categories or paradigms affect or bear on the doctrinal unity of the Pentecostal Church in Zambia? Apart from the initial evidence debate, this also, I think, constitutes a serious Pentecostal theological challenge. It is a matter for future inquiry.
The future of PAOG(Z) now depends on how the PAOG(Z) church addresses itself to these new challenges. Pentecostal scholars should emerge in Zambia to help tackle these challenges. Could it be that, for now, the direction of PAOG(Z) is difficult to ascertain and should therefore be relegated to scholarly curiosity and activity?
The paper terminates with recommendations for the leaderships of the Pentecostal Church in their various jurisdictions. Frankly, if these recommendations are seriously engaged, I suppose the Pentecostal Church will continue to be the church to which the people will come to and its future will be guaranteed.<br>Thesis (Ph.D. (Missiology))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus in association with Greenwich School of Theology, U.K., 2009

Full textAbstract:
Esta pesquisa busca mostrar que no Brasil houve várias influências religiosas que geraram, a partir da mistura entre os povos e suas religiões, um povo místico bastante voltado para o sobrenatural. Assim, com a chegada dos Missionários Pentecostais em 1910, a Teologia Pentecostal encontrou um terreno fértil, pois a mensagem anunciada apresentava Deus intervindo de forma visível na vida do povo, curando as suas doenças, salvando a sua alma e gerando a esperança de salvação eterna. Sendo assim, investiga-se em que medida a cultura religiosa brasileira, fruto das várias etnias que formaram o que hoje chamamos de povo brasileiro, favorece a Teologia Pentecostal Clássica e o seu desenvolvimento nas várias camadas da sociedade brasileira. Para isso o texto apresenta de forma introdutória a história religiosa dos colonizadores; mostra as expressões religiosas que havia no Brasil antes da chegada dos colonizadores, assim como a religiosidade que os negros africanos trouxeram ao Brasil; relata a chegada dos primeiros missionários protestantes; analisa a chegada dos missionários pentecostais no Brasil com a Teologia Pentecostal Clássica, assim como as possíveis causas do seu crescimento no Brasil. Passando, então, a questões contemporâneas relativas ao centenário da maior denominação Pentecostal do Brasil, a Assembleia de Deus. Nesta análise supõe-se que a teoria de Max Weber da afinidade eletiva, pode ser somada com a proposta de Clifford Geertz, onde supõe-se que o desenvolvimento do Pentecostalismo Clássico no Brasil foi favorecido por questões sociais bem particulares da formação do povo brasileiro, que por afinidade, entre todas as possibilidades da teologia evangélica já presente, optou pelo Pentecostalismo, por afinidade cultural.<br>This research aims to show that in Brazil, there were several religious influences that generated from the mixture of peoples and their religions, a very people-oriented mystical supernatural. Thus, with the arrival of Pentecostal missionaries in 1910, Pentecostal theology found fertile ground, because its message had God intervening in a visible way in the life of the people, healing their diseases, saving their soul and generating hope of eternal salvation. Therefore, we investigate to what extent the religious culture of Brazil, the fruit of the various ethnicities that formed what we now call the Brazilian people, favors the Classical Pentecostal Theology and its development in the various strata of its society. For this, the text presents in an introductory way the religious history of the settlers, shows the religious expressions practiced in Brazil before the arrival of the settlers, as well as the religiosity that black Africans brought to Brazil, reports the arrival of the first Protestant missionaries, analyzes the Pentecostal missionaries arrived in Brazil with a Classical Pentecostal Theology, as well as the possible causes of its growth in Brazil. Turning, then, to contemporary issues related to the centennial of Brazil's largest Pentecostal denomination, the Assemblies of God. In this analysis it is assumed that the theory of Max Weber's "elective affinity" can be added to the proposal of Clifford Geertz, where it is assumed that the development of Classical Pentecostalism in Brazil was favored in the forming of its people by very particular social issues that, because of affinity, among all the possibilities of the already present evangelical theology, opted by cultural affinity for Pentecostalism.

Full textAbstract:
The use of student group working has become prevalent within higher education, and is often adopted within the discipline of Business and Management where it has been recommended as an effective vehicle for the sharing and development of students' tacit and explicit knowledge. Within this thesis it is contended that a greater understanding of students' experiences and perceptions of knowledge sharing during group work will assist educators in designing pedagogic activities that enhance knowledge sharing, potentially increasing students' learning and attainment. Few scholars have investigated knowledge sharing amongst students during group work within the United Kingdom. Within this thesis, the field of knowledge management is adopted as a theoretical lens to explore knowledge sharing during group work amongst business and management students enrolled on taught programmes within Bangor Business School, Bangor University. The first study presents the results of a quantitative survey that explores the relationship between undergraduate and postgraduate students' interpersonal trust relationships and their willingness to share and use tacit knowledge during group work. The second study presents the results of focus groups undertaken with undergraduate and postgraduate students. The study focuses on exploring students' experiences and perceptions of interpersonal trust relationships, tacit knowledge sharing and group allocation methods during group work. The third study presents an action research project concerned with influencing explicit knowledge sharing and use amongst undergraduate students enrolled on a third year undergraduate Human Resource Management module. It presents the design, implementation and evaluation of a pedagogic activity intended to influence electronically mediated inter-group explicit knowledge sharing. Individually and as a composite, these three studies present insights into students' experiences and perceptions of knowledge sharing during group work. Based on the findings, a number of recommendations for educators, and the wider business and management community are offered, and opportunities for future research are highlighted.

Previous issue date: 2012-11-30<br>Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior<br>The Assembleias de Deus-ADs, which emerged in 1911 in Belem-PA and are currently present in the entire country, for several decades have been the largest evangelical denomination in Brazil with 12,314,410 members or more than 6% of the population (2010 Census). It was created from a splinter group of the Baptist Church, in support of the Pentecostal message of two Swedes, Daniel Berg and Gunnar Vingren. Although, there have been other people and so-called Pentecostal manifestations, it is from this leadership and group that the phenomenon has spread, initially accompanying the internal migration of the rubber boom and then the numerous migrations of people from north-eastern Brazil, and ultimately consolidating in urban zones. Because of the extreme Congregationalism, as from the Swedish "free churches" concept, a national or regional institutional organization was not accepted. Throughout history, it becomes fragmented, because it was institutionally weak, but relied on strong charismatic personalities characterized by sharp traditionalism, from church headquarters of Ministries and their president-ministers, to extreme Episcopalianism. It grew followed by the broad urban process, but also and much more due to the immense internal competition. Using the Weberian theory of the domination charismatic, traditional and rational bureaucratic, we shall set forth Matriz Pentecostal Assembleiana Brasileira - MPAB (Brazilian Assembly Pentecostal Mother Church) in their fractional identities and irreversible internal differences, thus forming the distinct assembleianismos. For it is not a church, but several, distinct, divergent and competing units, quite like the country where they first appeared, grew and consolidated, therefore, Brazilian Assemblies of God.<br>As Assembleias de Deus - ADs, surgidas em 1911, em Belém-PA, hoje presentes no país inteiro, são há algumas décadas a maior denominação evangélica do Brasil, e, segundo o Censo de 2010, têm 12.314.410 membros, ou mais de 6% da população brasileira. Nascidas de um grupo dissidente da Igreja Batista, em adesão à mensagem pentecostal de dois suecos: Daniel Berg e Gunnar Vingren. Conquanto antes já existissem outras pessoas e manifestações ditas pentecostais, é a partir desta liderança e grupo que o fenômeno se propaga, acompanhando, inicialmente, a migração interna do ciclo da borracha e depois as inúmeras migrações Nordestinas, se consolidando, finalmente, nos espaços urbanos. Por causa de um extremo congregacionalismo, a partir do conceito sueco de igrejas livres , não se permitiu uma organização institucional nacional ou regional. Ao longo da história vai se fragmentando, mas com mensagem e personalidades carismáticas marcadas por acentuado tradicionalismo a partir das igrejas-sedes de Ministérios e seus pastores-presidentes, caminhando, desta forma, em direção ao extremo episcopalismo. Cresceu acompanhando o amplo processo urbano, mas também, ou muito mais, pela imensa concorrência interna. Usando a teorização weberiana das dominações carismática, tradicional e racional burocrática, estabeleceremos a Matriz Pentecostal Assembleiana Brasileira MPAB, em suas identidades irreversivelmente fracionadas em divergências internas, formando, assim, os distintos assembleianismos urbano, rural, difuso e autônomo. Não se trata, assim, de uma igreja, mas de diversas, distintas, concorrentes e divergentes entre si, muito parecidas com o país onde nasceram, cresceram e se consolidaram. Portanto, Assembleias Brasileiras de Deus.

Full textAbstract:
The objective of this work is to analyze the maintenance of the traditional Pentecostal in the church Assemblies of God Church Ministry of Madureira in Sergipe. Since 1980, an
assembleinen group already met in Sergipe, denominated Ministry of Madureira, under the leadership of Pastor Jonas Teles da Silva and, in the course of time, it was spreading, now there is more than 70 dispersed temples in the state of Sergipe. The traditional pentecostal, constantly reaffirmed by these religious persons when they refer to the leadership of Rev. Jonas Teles and his objections in relation to the innovations of a possible future has been the subject of ongoing concern within the group. However, the center of the religious world of the faithful ADMM is to reaffirm their way of being all other forms of religious expression, that is, say the following "sound doctrine", the traditional Pentecostalism. Thus, distinguishing the traditional manifestations of spiritual gifts of the current innovation is only possible from the moment that separates the world community of people living a shared religion, a religious individualist consumer society. Hence, when examining the eyes of the religious over the world and life, social representations they use to interpret their own standards within the context of Pentecostalism, we noted the struggle of those who chose to live in the flames of
Pentecost.<br>O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a manutenção do pentecostalismo tradicional na igreja Assembléia de Deus Ministério de Madureira em Sergipe. Desde 1980, um grupo
de assembleianos já se reunia em Sergipe, denominando-se Ministério de Madureira, sob a liderança do Pastor Jonas Teles da Silva e, com o passar do tempo, foi se espalhando, atualmente há mais de 70 templos espalhados no Estado de Sergipe. O Pentecostalismo Tradicional, constantemente reafirmado por esses religiosos quando se referem à liderança do pastor Jonas Teles e suas objeções em relação às inovações de um possível porvir, tem sido alvo de preocupação constante no interior do grupo. No entanto, o centro do mundo religioso dos fiéis da ADMM consiste em reafirmar o seu modo de ser perante outras formas de manifestação religiosa, ou seja, afirmam que seguem a sã doutrina , o pentecostalismo tradicional. Assim, distinguir as
manifestações tradicionais de dons espirituais das atuais inovações só é possível a partir do momento em que se separa o mundo comunitário de pessoas que vivem uma
religiosidade compartilhada, de uma religiosidade individualista da sociedade de consumo. Daí, ao analisar o olhar dos religiosos sobre o mundo e a vida, quais as representações sociais que utilizam para interpretar seu próprio contexto dentro dos padrões do pentecostalismo, evidenciamos a luta daqueles que optaram em viver sob as chamas do pentecoste.

Full textAbstract:
The subject of social involvement though, still under debate and being pursued by the Church of Jesus Christ even this time around has not wholly been appreciated by most Pentecostals. This is despite the fact that some of the early Pentecostals, including the early Church as seen from the ‘Acts of the Apostles’ chose to pursue social dimension of the gospel in addition to the Church’s mandate of ‘pure evangelism.’ Although social involvement has been at the very heart of Pentecostal theology, traditionally speaking, PAOG (Z), being one of the Pentecostal groupings has been seen to place much emphasis on ‘pure evangelism’, rather than ‘embracing’ both forms of missional dimensions. However, this trend is slowly changing as observed from the social involvements that some of its congregations and institutions are currently undertaking. This study views that part of the reason for the lack of an all-round social involvement’ by all the PAOG (Z) congregations lies in its theology of mission and thus critically examines it. The other aspect is the non-utilization or recognition of known professions of clergies that could normally enhance social involvement in most of its congregations. Next it makes an in-depth study of one PAOG (Z) - PAOC run projects and few congregations for the purpose of doing a social impact assessment, which has shown positive impacts in the communities that these projects are being undertaken.
The study also reveals that the lack of clear constitutional guidelines concerning this has contributed to the absence of social programs in most of its churches resulting in not having a strong ‘social’ voice compared to the Catholic Church. The thesis uses a modified “praxis cycle” to structure its theoretical framework and research methodology.<br>Christian Spirituality, Church History & Missiology<br>D. Th. (Missiology)

Full textAbstract:
The subject of “unreached people” is still debated in Christian circles. Given the vast resources of the Church, it is difficult to understand that there are still people unreached by the gospel. This study views that part of the reason for this is that there is an unequal distribution of Christian mission resources. It thus critically examines the reasons that have been advanced to explain this unequal distribution. Next, it makes an in-depth study of one particular church in Zambia, namely the Pentecostal Assemblies of God (Zambia), which has more than 1400 congregations across the country, by looking at the initiatives it has taken towards reaching the unreached. Chapter 5 reveals that the lack of a clear mission policy and the autonomy of congregations contribute to an unequal distribution of mission resources in the PAOG (Z).

Full textAbstract:
This chapter covers evangelical churches’ responses to Cuban refugees between 1959 and 1965, which constituted the first large-scale refugee resettlement initiative by a large evangelical denomination, as well as a well-established public-private partnership between the US government and evangelical churches. Evangelicals, particularly Southern Baptists, provided relief for and sponsored Cuban refugees as an outgrowth of their anticommunism as much as out of their religiously motivated missionary zeal. The Southern Baptist Convention—the nation’s largest Protestant denomination—resettled more than a thousand Cuban refugees. Southern Baptist refugee sponsors provided a roof to sleep under, furnished refugees’ new homes with blankets and kitchen appliances, secured employment for the families’ breadwinners, and enrolled Cuban children in school and the adults in English language classes. While not involved in resettlement, the Pentecostal Assemblies of God shared the Southern Baptists’ missionary zeal and catered to Cuban refugees’ material and spiritual needs.
