Pentecostals (traditionally) do not think theologically so much as
do it practically. This book will present Pentecostal theology as
well as the particular style of Pentecostal thinking and praxis
that makes it different. Pentecostalism is not just distinctive
because of its belief base but also because of the worldview it
owns. The latter is based on a certainty that a religion that does
not work is not worth much. Consequently, they look for expressions
of life and vitality in their faith. These dominate, rather than an
expression of the cerebral, though this is changing. Nevertheless,
the sense of the immediate, the God of the now not the distant
past, underlie how they do theology. Pentecostal theology tends to
be seen through the eyes of people, not theologians; through the
community, not traditions (though they have them); through their
faith and worship, not ancient creeds. It is a theology of the
dynamic, seen through the lens of experience. It is a functional
theology that exists to operate; to incorporate an experiential
dimension. Pentecostal theology does not operate as other
theologies which often only detail a list of beliefs; it does this
but also and (more) importantly, it explores them in the context of
praxis. Thus, this volume incorporates praxis as part of the
enquiry relating to theology.
