This study sets Korean Pentecostalism firmly in the Korean context. It shows the roots of Korean Pentecostalism in Korean culture and history, and discusses its relation to Minjung theology. Some of the American evangelistic campaigns in Korea are also discussed. Korea has its own Pentecostal churches but more important is the influence of the Pentecostal Movement on that country's rapidly-growing churches in general. The originality of Korean Pentecostalism and its difference from American/European Pentecostalism is clearly highlighted.

Asia Pacific Pentecostalism, edited by Denise A. Austin, Jacqueline Grey, and Paul W. Lewis, yields previously untold stories and interdisciplinary analysis of pioneer foundations, denominational growth, leadership training, contextualisation, and community development across East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Oceania. Pentecostalism in the Asia Pacific has made an enormous contribution to its global family—from the more visible influence of Yonggi Cho from Korea to the worship revolutions from Australia (particularly associated with Hillsong) and the lesser known missionary activity from Fiji—each region has contributed significantly to global Christianity. Some communities prospered despite hostile environments and wartime devastation. This volume provides a systematic study of the geographical contexts of Asia Pacific Pentecostalism, including historical development, theological influences, and sociological perspectives. Contributors are: Doreen Alcoran-Benavidez, Dik Allan, Connie Au, Denise A. Austin, Edwardneil Benavidez, John Carter, Michael Chase, Yung Hun Choi, Darin Clements, Shane Clifton, Dynnice Rosanny Engcoy, Michael J. Frost, Luisa J. Gallagher, Sarita D.

Global Pentecostalism and Charismatic Christianity in all its diversity is the fastest expanding religious movement in the world today. Allan Anderson, a former Pentecostal minister and a leading authority on global Pentecostalism, aims to make more visible the 'non-western' nature of Pentecostalism without overlooking the importance of the movement emanating from North America. Offering an innovative interpretation of Pentecostalism, he takes seriously the contributions of the Majority World to its development and, concentrating on its history and theology, reflects on the movement's development and significance throughout the world. Anderson also examines those theological issues that helped form a distinctive spirituality and how this relates to different peoples and their cultures. Finally, Anderson discusses the development of Pentecostal and Charismatic Christianity in the different countries from its origins at the beginning of the twentieth century to its theological emphases in the present, together with the impact of the processes of globalization.

Pentecostalism has become the fastest growing Christian movement, particularly outside Europe, and Allan Heaton Anderson is one of the foremost scholars of this phenomenon. His innovative interpretation of Pentecostalism focuses on the serious contribution made by both western and Majority World participants in its development. In this second edition of his leading introductory course book, Anderson presents an updated global history of the movement, which addresses significant events and changes in recent years, and surveys important theoretical issues such as gender and society, as well as politics and economics. The book also offers a comprehensive explanation of the significance of Charismatic Christianity throughout the world, plus its effect upon the globalisation of religion and its transformation in the present century. This new edition will be an important resource for those studying Pentecostalism, Charismatic Christianity, theology and sociology of religion.

Lee advocates a “theology of hope,” essentially different from the Moltmann version on which the idea is developed. Lee shows how Cho’s message, particularly in its promise of a “saved” healthy, happy and prosperous life (the “Threefold Blessing”), was the antidote to the events that had ravaged the Korean peninsula in the 1950s. At the same time, Asian Pentecostal scholars might also need a greater appreciation for both the diversity and richness of their cultural and religious past. . . . [They] have found both culturally and biblically acceptable alternatives to, and adaptations from, the practices of their ancient religions and are seeking to provide answers to the needs of their own context. —Allan H. Anderson, University of Birmingham, England (From the Foreword)

The Pentecostal movement has had an incredible impact on the shape of worldwide Christianity in the past century. Estimates are that Pentecostals and charismatics make up approximately one-fourth of Christians worldwide, and the numbers are only expected to grow. With these developments comes the need for thoughtful Christians of all persuasions to better understand Pentecostal theology. In fact, Amos Yong believes that Pentecostal theology can be a great gift to the church at large. Yong presents a thoroughly Pentecostal theology of salvation, the church, the nature of God, and creation. He also provides a fascinating survey of the state of worldwide Pentecostalism, examining how Pentecostal theology is influencing Christian churches in other countries.

"Millions of people around the world know about Yonggi Cho and his great Yoido Church in Seoul, Korea. Very few, however, know about the power of his theology. This book by many distinguished researchers, mostly Asians, tells us more than ever before just who David Yonggi Cho is and the reasons for the powerful influence in Korea, Asia, and the entire Christian world."Vinson Synan, Ph.D., Regent University, Virginia Beach, VA"This unique book brings together studies surrounding the exceptionally gifted pastor of the world's largest church along with a cadre of emerging Asian scholars - both emerging from the Pentecostal movement. Clearly the Asian, and especially the Korean, churches mark the shift of the ecclesiastical center of gravity away from the West toward the East and the South. This pastor, and these scholars, will be irrestible voices in the Pentecostalism of the new century."Russell P. Spittler, Ph.D., Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, CA"Finally, there is available a text on Asian Pentecostalism written by Asian Pentecostals (along with some informed Western colleagues). Asian Pentecostalism represents the future of the worldwide Spirit-movement. Pastor Yonggi Cho is a fruitful and challenging case-study, not only for the sheer size of his church but also because of his courage and creativity in anchoring Pentecostalism in the Korean context."Veli-Matti Karkkainen, Dr. Theol. habil., Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, CA University of Helsinki, Finland
