Since the apostolic age, Christian churches have seen a constant
dialectic between inspiration and institution: how the ungoverned
spontaneity of Spirit-led religion negotiates its way through laws,
structures and communities. If institutional frameworks are absent
or insufficient, new, creative and dynamic expressions of
Christianity can disappear or collapse into disorder almost as
quickly as they have flared up. If those frameworks are excessively
rigid or punitive, they can often quench the spirit of any new
movements. This volume explores the interplay between inspirational
movements and institutional structures throughout Christianity's
history, examining how the paradox of inspiration and institution
has been negotiated from the ancient world to the modern era,
tracing how different Christian movements have striven to hold
these two vital aspects of their faith together, often finding
creative or unexpected ways to institutionalize inspiration or to
breathe new life into their institutions.
