Pentecostalism has exploded in recent decades as the vanguard of a world Christian movement. These lectures will provide an overview of the emerging pentecostal theology and pneumatology (the doctrine of the Holy Spirit) in the last twenty years, a look at efforts that have attempted to keep up with the ferment of the global renewal movement in the church, and a sketch of the shape of theology when it is examined from a Pentecostal and pneumatological perspective. Developments on the ground and in the theological academy promise to revitalize and reinvigorate faith and theology in the 21st-century.

Streaming video for this event is available via a high-speed Internet connection. Watch the lectures live from your own computer, and interact with the speaker by email, IM or text message. Details
