Post-Charismatic by Robby McAlpine Pdf

“Our weekly Charismatics Anonymous meeting is about to begin. Join me, will you?” It’s like we’re caught between a rock and a hard place. We’re “continuationists.” We believe all the gifts of the Holy Spirit are alive and well and essential for today. But we’ve also been burned by unbiblical teachings, spiritual abuse, and the gaslighting subculture of pneuma-fomo (fear of missing out on the next great move of the Spirit). We yearn for the Spirit’s presence and power in our lives. We don’t want to “throw the baby out with the bathwater,” but the water’s teeming with spiteful pathogens. It’s time to roll up our sleeves and take responsibility for disinfecting the tub. Toxic beliefs have produced spiritual casualties among Pentecostals and charismatics for far too long. Our Kairos moment has arrived. Let’s hone the charismata of discernment.

The Post-Charismatic Experience by Robert Wild Pdf

Rev. Robert Wild assesses the charismatic movement in the 1980s. He explores in depth the phenomenon of the thousands who have relinquished active involvement in the renewal and seeks to discern what the Spirit is saying to the churches today. An astute appraiser of the renewal since its beginnings, the author forthrightly addresses conditions as they exist. This book is for all actively involved in the charismatic movement who are puzzled by the exodus. It is also for those who feel they have “passed through” the renewal, who no longer practice the gifts of the Spirit and who feel a vague disquiet about it. All who have ever been touched by the charismatic renewal will find herein fresh insight, encouragement, and a prophetic challenge in their developing life in the Spirit.

How God Becomes Real by T.M. Luhrmann Pdf

The hard work required to make God real, how it changes the people who do it, and why it helps explain the enduring power of faith How do gods and spirits come to feel vividly real to people—as if they were standing right next to them? Humans tend to see supernatural agents everywhere, as the cognitive science of religion has shown. But it isn’t easy to maintain a sense that there are invisible spirits who care about you. In How God Becomes Real, acclaimed anthropologist and scholar of religion T. M. Luhrmann argues that people must work incredibly hard to make gods real and that this effort—by changing the people who do it and giving them the benefits they seek from invisible others—helps to explain the enduring power of faith. Drawing on ethnographic studies of evangelical Christians, pagans, magicians, Zoroastrians, Black Catholics, Santeria initiates, and newly orthodox Jews, Luhrmann notes that none of these people behave as if gods and spirits are simply there. Rather, these worshippers make strenuous efforts to create a world in which invisible others matter and can become intensely present and real. The faithful accomplish this through detailed stories, absorption, the cultivation of inner senses, belief in a porous mind, strong sensory experiences, prayer, and other practices. Along the way, Luhrmann shows why faith is harder than belief, why prayer is a metacognitive activity like therapy, why becoming religious is like getting engrossed in a book, and much more. A fascinating account of why religious practices are more powerful than religious beliefs, How God Becomes Real suggests that faith is resilient not because it provides intuitions about gods and spirits—but because it changes the faithful in profound ways.

Revise Us Again by Frank Viola Pdf

Every person follows a script for living, a life guide that directs our behavior and shapes our choices. As believers, we find the original script for living woven throughout the Bible. Yet while the Christian message is simple, it can become complicated by our environment, our culture, and our religious ideas and traditions. For this reason, we are all in constant need of revising the scripts by which we live. Author Frank Viola believes we need to revisit and revise what it means to live the Christian life. Drawing from his rich background in ministry, Viola examines ten key areas that impact every believer and explores fresh ways to revise them. Conversational, insightful, and practical, Revise Us Again encourages us to examine those religious habits that we unconsciously pick up from others and rescript them with new habits that line up with our new nature in Christ.

Kingdom Triangle by J. P. Moreland Pdf

Western society is in crisis, the result of our culture's embrace of naturalism and postmodernism. At the same time, the biblical worldview has been pushed to the margins. Christians have been strongly influenced by these trends, with the result that the personal lives of Christians often reflect the surrounding culture more than the way of Christ, and the church's transforming influence on society has waned. In Kingdom Triangle, J.P. Moreland issues a call to recapture the drama and power of kingdom living. He examines and provides a penetrating critique of these worldviews and shows how they have ushered in the current societal crisis. He then lays out a strategy for the Christian community to regain the potency of kingdom life and influence in the world. Drawing insights from the early church, he outlines three essential ingredients of this revolution: ? Recovery of the Christian mind ? Renovation of Christian spirituality ? Restoration of the power of the Holy Spirit He believes that evangelical Christianity can mature and lead the surrounding society out of the meaningless morass it finds itself in with humility and vision.

Introducing Christian Theologies II by Victor I Ezigbo Pdf

Should Christianity's theological face remain largely European and North American in the twenty-first century in the wake of the expansion of Christianity in sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and Latin America? The question about the theological face of Christianity cannot be ignored. For too long African, Asian, and Latin American theologians have been left out of mainstream theological discussions. Few standard textbooks on Christian theology acknowledge the unique contributions theologians from these continents have made to global Christianity. Introducing Christian Theologies: Voices from Global Christian Communities is a two-volume textbook that alters the predominantly European and North American theological face of Christianity by interacting with the voices of Christian communities from around the globe. Introducing Christian Theologies explores the works of key theologians from across the globe, highlighting their unique contributions to Christian theology and doctrine.

Post-Charismatic 2. 0 by Robby Mcalpine Pdf

"I don't want to be post-Spirit, but I wouldn't mind being post-"hype."" "Ideas have consequences." Theology does, too. "Those who fail to learn from history's mistakes are destined to repeat them." Including church history. Post-charismatics are caught between a rock and a hard place: They believe that the gifts of the Holy Spirit are for today. But they have also seen the twisted teachings and spiritual abuses that exist in the charismatic movement. And so the sifting process must begin.

Doctrine and Experience by Christopher Charles Zito Pdf

Should evangelical spirituality be grounded in doctrine, experience, neither, or both? If in one, which, and why not the other? If in both, how might the two co-exist without cancelling out each other's distinctives? If in neither, then what practical value does either have for the Christian life? In this book, the author has combined critical research, pastoral awareness, and thoughtful reflection to show how the radicalizations of doctrine and experience have not only polarized contemporary evangelicalism into two nearly irreconcilable camps, but also has opened the door for a subtle but potent form of idolatry to creep into our midst. In an attempt to purge these idols and bridge the gap, this book contextualizes the biblical teachings and practices of our original spiritual instructors, asking the double-edged question of what it means for us today that the Word of God is normative and that the Spirit is Lord. The author concludes that evangelicals should seek an incarnate, cross-centered spirituality that is informed by meticulous attention and obedience to sound doctrine, but only as it is lived out in a deeply felt faith that is made perfect as we experience God daily in any number of ways.

Catholicism and the Spirit by Stephen Ebo Annan Pdf

The resurgence of Pentecostal, charismatic Christianityepitomized in the global Southhas thrown Catholicism back on itself, and has challenged it to reassess its ecclesial self-understanding. The Catholic Church has been accused of having forgotten the Spirit. Despite the progress made by the Catholic Church to redress this so-called pneumatological deficit, it nonetheless remains the case that Roman Catholicism and charismatic Christianity seems to be mutually exclusive. Why and how does the Roman Catholic Church today still lack a fully-developed pneumatological-charismatic ecclesiology?Catholicism and the Spirit sets out to address such questions, and argues that the Church must overcome its ultraconservatism and re-envision a robust Spirit-led ecclesiology to meet the demands of ecclesial renewal.
