Pentecostal Liturgical Theology
This book explores how Pentecostal meaning-full worship frees people into a cosmic liturgy that wills humanity to Pentecost. A liturgical turn has marked recent Pentecostal studies, producing a growing body of liturgical theologies. This cutting edge work analyses four theologians at its forefront: Tanya Riches, Daniela Augustine, Chris E.W. Green, and Wolfgang Vondey. It does so through a "liturgy as primary theology" approach, which defines liturgy as "the church at prayer”. Here, Rice shows how Pentecostal experience clarifies liturgy as the church at prayer on the altar. Drawing from critical discourse analysis, continental philosophy, and Aristotelian wisdom, this incisive book procee...
Baptism in Times of Change
What happened to baptism in Nordic countries? Traditionally, most newborns were baptized into the Lutheran majority churches. The rapid decline of this practice in recent decades has sparked reflection on the church's role in society and on the cultural and theological meaning of baptism in a secularized society. The decline of infant baptism has made way for new practices and ecclesial strategies. This book analyzes these developments from historical, social scientific, and theological perspectives, comparing material from the five Nordic Lutheran folk churches. The essays gathered here provide an extensive overview of research and resources connected to baptism in the Nordic folk churches over the last two decades, but they also contribute constructive theological reflection on baptism’s wider implications. This anthology emerged from the larger joint Nordic project Baptism in Times of Change, conducted between 2020 and 2022. The project was part of the joint Nordic initiative Churches in Times of Change, focusing on changes in ecclesial practice and theology in the Nordic region.
Ecclesial Identification beyond Late Modern Individualism?
Why do some late modern churches grow, counter to the trend in Western Europe? Why do people identify with such churches – and does identification lead to morally transforming commitments beyond late modern consumerism? This case study investigates these questions based on ‘real life’ or empirical research, which include both the level of individual life strategies and organisational practice in two growing European churches. This innovative and interdisciplinary study draws on recent findings in theology, moral philosophy, sociology and organisational psychology. Its findings may prove useful not only for scholars in these disciplines, it may also enrich the reflection of practitioners who seek to perform the difficult art of transformational leadership in a late modern context.
Global Renewal Christianity
This final volume is an authoritative collection from more than two dozen leaders and scholars of the Spirit-empowered movement.
The Spirit Driven Church
Must the church be either charismatic or sacramental? In this book, Terje Hegertun argues that she has the privilege of being both. The Day of Pentecost formed her identity and shaped her conviction of being lifted on the arms of grace and pushed forward by the power from on high. In the midst of her vulnerability and failure, the worldwide faith community is a composition of the Spirit. One of the greatest gifts the church may offer the world is simply to be church: a charismatic-sacramental fellowship, a dwelling place of God's Spirit. A church nurtured by graceful charismatic and sacramental gifts fosters a mature congregational spirituality distinguished by hospitable relations. Thus, the Spirit of God plays the main role of being the comprehensive principle of Christian unity across denominational lines.

Det trofaste samlivet
Det er få temaer i teologien som berører oss mer enn det som har med samliv og kjærlighet å gjøre. Dette gjelder også i spørsmålet om homofiles plass i kirken. Kan vi komme fram til en samlivsteologi som er gyldig, uavhengig av seksuell legning? Terje Hegertun behandler denne sårbare tematikken med respekt og teologisk refleksjon. Han presenterer tolkningsnøkler som bidrar til en utvidet forståelse av den bibelske samlivsveiledningen.
