One hundred years after the Azusa Street Revival stunned Los Angeles and changed Western Christianity, Pentecostalism has become the fastest growing religious movement in the world. However, many Pentecostal denominations in the United States are in a slow decline. Will Pentecostalism survive in North America in the twenty-first century? If so, what forms will it take? The Future of Pentecostalism in the United States brings together leading scholars of charismatic and Pentecostal Christianity to discuss and forecast these issues. The book looks at American Pentecostalism from a variety of disciplinary perspectives including sociology, theology, history, and the arts. The book also considers various traditions and sub-movements within U.S. Pentecostalism, such as African American Pentecostal and charismatic Latino churches, urban postmodern charismatic congregations, and the role of Pentecostal institutions of higher education.
"Earl Creps is a superb communicator with the passion, courage, and
vulnerability to hang out with younger people who mentor him
enthusiastically. This book is a refreshing, innovative perspective
that all other mentoring books miss." "This book will help satisfy a deep hunger for wisdom and
guidance." "The world has ended about four times. New technologies and
processes for handling information make the old world obsolete,
quickly. When this happens an unusual dynamic asserts itself.
Younglings mentor the elders into the way of the new world. The
richness of life sharing that is established in reverse mentoring
is a largely unexplored, but promising green edge to the Christian
movement. Let Earl Creps show you how to get in on this
development." "Unfortunately, those of us who've been around for awhile find
it difficult to listen to those who haven't. What could they ever
teach us? No question this prevalent attitude is much to our
disadvantage as we lose touch with the future of Christ's church.
So how can we learn to be quiet for once and listen? And why should
we founts of wisdom even consider it? Earl Creps provides us with a
compelling answer in Reverse Mentoring. This is a must-read for all
generations who love Christ's church." "And I thought I was cool, that I had put the 'hip' back in
discipleship! But after experiencing Reverse Mentoring, Ihave
discovered it was an 'artificial hip.' It reminded me how much
younger leaders have helped me, and it motivated me to get down to
Starbucks or wherever I can spend some time with them." "Yikes. We've been nattering on about apprenticeship and
formation forever, but we've often studiously ignored some of our
best teachers. Brilliantly incisive and yet Monday-morning
practical, this warm, vital book might just nudge the church into a
long overdue revolution."
In "Off-Road Disciplines, " Earl Creps reveals that the on-road practices of prayer and Bible reading should be bolstered by the other kinds of encounters with God that occur unexpectedly--complete with the bumps and bruises that happen when you go "off-road." Becoming an off-road leader requires the cultivation of certain spiritual disciplines that allow the presence of the Holy Spirit to arrange your interior life. Earl Creps explores twelve central spiritual disciplines--six personal and six organizational--that Christian leaders of all ages and denominations need if they are to change themselves and their churches to reach out to the culture around them.
