Network Church: A Pentecostal Ecclesiology Shaped by Mission: Global Pentecostal and Charismatic Studies, cartea 11

Autor Andy Lord
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 mar 2012
Pentecostal churches have grown over the last century but only a limited amount has been written about their ecclesiology. Much of the existing work focuses on congregational models and contemporary practice. This book argues the need for a pentecostal systematic approach to ecclesiology. Utilising the method of Amos Yong a pentecostal ecclesiology based on a network church structure is developed. Systematic issues of catholicity are addressed through mission insights on partnership, and a hospitable approach to contextualisation is developed. This book, therefore, suggests new ways forward in pentecostal studies and ecclesiology.

Recenzii

"Andy Lord has provided a very impressive contribution towards Pentecostal ecclesiology, one which is trinitarian, catholic and contextual.
Using a distinctly Pentecostal theological method, he has provided an important model that can be used in dialogue with other approaches and Christian traditions.
This book is a 'must read' for students and scholars of Pentecostal and Charismatic theology in particular and ecclesiology more generally."
Dr Mark J. Cartledge,
Director of the Centre for Pentecostal and Charismatic Studies, University of Birmingham, UK.


"The genius of this volume is an ecclesiological vision informed by pentecostal theological instincts and mission practices that simultaneously engages Christian theologians seeking to rethink the nature, task, and mission of the church in the 21st-century. Andy Lord’s pneumatologically dynamic ‘network church’ provides desperately needed resources for revitalizing ecclesiological reflection and empowering holistic mission in a post-Christendom, post-colonial, and post-denominational world."
Amos Yong, PhD.
J. Rodman Williams Professor of Theology, Regent University, School of Divinity.


"Pentecostalism in the past century has been one of the largest religious movements ever, and has changed the shape of Christianity and of many societies. Andy Lord seeks out its wisdom for all churches in the twenty-first century, and offers an exciting vision of a network church that is Spirit-filled and hospitable, local and global."
David F. Ford
Regius Professor of Divinity, University of Cambridge


"Network Church is a significant contribution to Pentecostal ecclesiology. Its greatest importance lies in Lord's attempt to construct a theology of the church from within Pentecostal sensibilities, history, and methodology. Lord's writing is crisp, and he shows great command of Pentecostal scholarship and ecclesiological debates. [...] Pentecostal church practices will undoubtedly benefit from Lord's proposal. Pentecostal ecclesiology can find in this book a significant model for dialogue among the various Pentecostal voices and with other Christian traditions. The ecumenical community can benefit from both Lord's skills of synthesizing Pentecostal theology and from his systematic methodology. Among the few ecclesiological proposals from Pentecostals that exist today, this ecclesiology shaped by mission will undoubtedly assume a central place."
