James K. A. Smith and Amos Yong, series editors
Beyond Pentecostalism
The Crisis of Global Christianity and the Renewal of the Theological Agenda
Wolfgang Vondey
In Beyond Pentecostalism Wolfgang Vondey argues that Pentecostal thought and
praxis represent an indispensable catalyst for the realization of a global theology —
a vital task for the twenty-first century. Vondey describes the elements of what
he calls the crisis of global Christianity — manifested chiefly in theology’s turn
toward a performance-oriented enterprise — and suggests that overcoming the
crisis demands an integration of Pentecostalism in the global theo logical agenda.
Informing Vondey’s study throughout is the provocative metaphor of theology
using Pentecostal resources as closer to “play” than to “performance.” Vondey’s
goal is not a “pentecostalization” of Christianity but rather a renewal of the
theological landscape in light of the significance of Pentecostal voices, thoughts,
and practices worldwide.
Wolfgang Vondey is associate professor of systematic theology and director of
the Center for Renewal Studies at Regent University School of Divinity, Virginia
Beach, Virginia.

Sacra Doctrina: Christian Theology for a Postmodern Age

In the Days of Caesar
Pentecostalism and Political Theology
Amos Yong
In the Days of Caesar is a constructive political theology formulated in sustained
dialogue with the Pentecostal and charismatic renewal — one of the most
vibrant religious movements at the beginning of the twenty-first century.
Amos Yong here argues that the many tongues, practices, and gifts of renewal
Christianity offer up new resources for thinking about how Christian community
can engage and transform the social, political, and economic structures of
the world.
This book’s engagement with political theology from a Pentecostal perspective
is the first of its kind.
Amos Yong is J. Rodman Williams Professor of Theology at Regent University
School of Divinity, Virginia Beach, Virginia. His other books include The Spirit
Poured Out on All Flesh and Hospitality and the Other.
