- Title
Pentecostal Theological Education in a Theological and Missiological Perspective.
- Authors
Kärkkäinen, Veli-Matti
- Abstract
While Pentecostals have been busy in building Bible schools and more recently theological seminaries and other institutions of higher learning, they have paid little or no attention to the theological basis of their education. Usually theological education follows the precepts and standards of Evangelical and other Conservative traditions. This essay seeks to reflect on the distinctively Pentecostal features of Pentecostal theological education, ask some critical questions concerning the ways Pentecostals have borrowed categories, lessons, and even materials from other movements, as well as provide some constructive thoughts towards a more authentic expression of Pentecostal training in academic settings.
