Charismata

Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 155
Book Description
“So, what do you really want to do?” Most people spend more time thinking about how to get what they want rather than determining exactly what they should want during their life journey. Modern dictionaries define vocation as a regular occupation or profession, but its roots are found in Scripture as positively responding to a call from God that leads to a comprehensive Christian life. This book traces the history of vocation from its scriptural roots to our present postmodern-age usage, then guides the reader through charismata, the Greek word for gifts. It explores individual giftedness, responsibilities within community, and vocational choices. A hexagonal charismata portfolio model is presented with practical applications for establishing habits and balancing life aspects for Christians of all ages. This book will help you rediscover the biblical meaning of vocation, regardless of where you are along the journey of faith.

An Introduction to Pentecostalism
Author: Allan Anderson
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521532808
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
Global Pentecostalism and Charismatic Christianity in all its diversity is the fastest expanding religious movement in the world today. Allan Anderson, a former Pentecostal minister and a leading authority on global Pentecostalism, aims to make more visible the 'non-western' nature of Pentecostalism without overlooking the importance of the movement emanating from North America. Offering an innovative interpretation of Pentecostalism, he takes seriously the contributions of the Majority World to its development and, concentrating on its history and theology, reflects on the movement's development and significance throughout the world. Anderson also examines those theological issues that helped form a distinctive spirituality and how this relates to different peoples and their cultures. Finally, Anderson discusses the development of Pentecostal and Charismatic Christianity in the different countries from its origins at the beginning of the twentieth century to its theological emphases in the present, together with the impact of the processes of globalization.

Religious Life
Author: Loan Le
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443896802
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
Following the Second Vatican Council, when each Religious Institute was encouraged to research its charism, some Institutes experienced a tension between their charism and their mission, or even difficulty identifying what their charism was. This book is a study of the theological understanding of charism and of mission in relation to Religious Life within the Catholic Church. While this topic has featured in much Roman Catholic theological literature since Vatican II, there appears to be a dearth of in-depth studies. This book addresses this apparent lacuna. It draws particularly on the work of two major theologians, Jean-Marie Roger Tillard OP and Sandra Marie Schneiders IHM, who have reflected at length on charism and mission in the period leading up to Vatican II and on the implementation of its documents with respect to Religious Life. The very significant contributions of Tillard and Schneiders on the topic provide Religious, as well as others who want to know and understand Religious Life, with an interesting and motivating insight into charism and mission in Religious Life. Within the Roman Catholic Church, a “Year of Consecrated Life” has just drawn to a close, and this book forms a background and a response to Pope Francis’ Apostolic Letter to “all Consecrated People on the occasion of the Year of Consecrated Life” (November 2014), which invited Religious to reflect on these aspects that are essential to the life they have chosen to live.

Can I work for an energy company and still be a Christian? This question from a young professional working in the author’s London trading department sparked a journey that resulted in this book.

A Guide to Pentecostal Movements for Lutherans
Author: Sarah Hinlicky Wilson
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 149828986X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 141
Book Description
In just over a century, Pentecostalism has rocketed from its humble beginnings in an interracial congregation on Azusa Street in Los Angeles to a global movement counting more than six hundred million members. Confronted with the bewildering array of Pentecostal, Charismatic, and Neocharismatic beliefs and practices, Lutherans are often at a loss as to how to think about Pentecostals, much less how to engage them in positive ways that build up the whole body of Christ. In this guide, Lutherans will find tools for just such an engagement. Building on a foundation of Pentecostalism's history and varieties, Wilson undertakes an in-depth survey of biblical teaching on baptism, the Holy Spirit, and spiritual gifts. The guide then brings innovative new lenses to bear on the questions at stake: the use of church history in defending denominational borders, right and wrong approaches to prosperity, the power of the Spirit and corruptions of power, and the role of experience in theological discernment. Written in a style accessible to laity and clergy alike, this guide will strengthen Lutherans' appreciation of their own tradition while enabling them to encounter Pentecostals as fellow believers in the salvation given by the triune God.
