Global Renewal Christianity: Spirit-Empowered Movements: Past, Present and Future, Volume 3Vinson Synan, Amos Yong, J. Kwabena Asamoah-Gyadu The growth of Spirit-empowered Christianity has been nothing short of phenomenal. From a handful of believers in the early twentieth century to over six hundred million people in almost every culture and denomination today, those who embrace the Holy Spirit and His gifts are now the fastest-growing religious group in the world. But if any generation ceases to emphasize the Holy Spirit's power, the movement likely will lose its distinction. This third of four volumes is an authoritative collection from more than two dozen leaders and scholars of the Spirit-empowered movement in Africa. Focusing on the history and future of the movement, these world-renowned scholars address the theological and cultural challenges facing Pentecostals in Africa, and offer insights on how to meet them. |
