A Future for Holiness

By: Lee Martin

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Early Pentecostalism emerged from the nineteenth-century holiness movement, and holiness (both in theology and practice) has been a significant, if at times contentious, feature of the Pentecostal movement throughout its brief history. This book is an attempt to stimulate conversation regarding fresh Pentecostal approaches to the theology of holiness. Twenty Pentecostal scholars identify both opportunities and challenges for the future of holiness in Pentecostalism from the perspectives of the various academic disciplines. They explore the implications of holiness for Pentecostal theology, peacemaking, justice, global concerns, ethics, postmodernity, social responsibility, ecclesial structures, ministerial practices, Christian formation, intercultural engagements, immigration, civil society, political systems, personal relationships, youth work, economics, leadership, and more.
