  Abstract: With almost 800 million followers, scholars from numerous fields have examined Pentecostalism—composed of congregations from
  Protestantism, Catholicism, and Orthodox Churches—attempting to explain its wide appeal and diverse practices. Why has Pentecostalism been able to adapt to each unique context so effectively' Are there universal traits that unite all Pentecostals' While these questions have interested and confounded scholars and practitioners alike, a fundamental and crucial question has remained unanswered: what exactly is Pentecostalism' Without a framework for understanding Pentecostalism, very little progress can be made into understanding the movement. Unlike previous definitional efforts that restrict the movement to “Western,” dualistic paradigms, this paper argues that Tiantai Buddhist philosophy provides Pentecostalism with a dynamic framework that enables fluid movement
  with the Holy Spirit without issue or concern. Tiantai’s Three Truths allow Pentecostals from multifarious contexts to flow with the Spirit in their distinctive way, resulting in freedom.

  Abstract: Contemporary Pentecostal/charismatic Christianity in Africa has adopted new and innovative symbols that fits its theology of prosperity, empowerment, and upward mobility. This article focuses on one of them: the eagle. The features and behavior patterns of the eagle help contemporary Pentecostals to use its symbolic features in articulating a pneumatology of upward mobility, elevation, success and prosperity. The pneumatology of the eagle is a global contemporary Pentecostal phenomenon. In this pneumatology, the eagle, with its powers of vision, longevity, strength, height and renewal, appears in contemporary Pentecostal prosperity discourses
  as a symbol of aspiration, which appeals very strongly to the sensibilities of upwardly mobile young people who tenaciously embrace the new charismatic fervour.

  Abstract: This article argues that discussions on the biblical interpretation issues that underpin the problematic expressions of the prosperity gospel within Pentecostalism have been helpful. However, given the affect-economic nexus in passages like 1 Tim 6.10, the article also contends that there need to be discussions addressing the affect-related matters of desire, denial, and the mirroring of consumer culture that often characterize these problematic expressions. Therefore, the article will discuss how a combined reading of the affect-related concepts in René Girard’s mimetic theory and Steven Jack Land’s assessment of Pentecostal spirituality can be used as a heuristic device to examine Pentecostal engagement with the prosperity gospel phenomenon. Finally, the article will claim that this combined reading can be instrumental to Pentecostal discernment regarding the contours of a sound Pentecostal engagement with the prosperity gospel.

  Abstract: The triad of Spirit, Word, and Community is a model that often represents Pentecostal hermeneutics. Focusing on the Word—a particularly elusive term for the Pentecostal hermeneutics—this study suggests some insights from an ethnography among Latin Pentecostal networks in the Nordic countries. Despite holding the Word with high regard, it exists as an “unbound Bible.” The Word is multiform: the Bible as an artifact, the relational divine agent, and a message. Many interpretative practices shape and limit the content of this unbound Bible. These interpretative practices include an analogical narrative reading that associates migration stories with biblical content, transnational and multilingual contexts, and a fragmentary and recursive reconfiguring of biblical texts for proper occasions. This study contributes to understanding migrant hermeneutics and discusses the Pentecostal triadic model of Spirit, Word, and Community.
