Global Renewal Christianity Volume One

Volume One: Asia and Oceania Spirit-Empowered Movements: Past, Present, and Future

THE GROWTH OF SPIRIT-EMPOWERED CHRISTIANITY has been nothing short of phenomenal. From a handful of believers in the early twentieth century to over six million people in almost every culture and denomination, those who embrace the Holy Spirit and His gifts are now the fastest-growing religious group in the world. But if any generation ceases to emphasize the Holy Spirit’s power, the movement likely will lose this distinction. This first of four volumes is an authoritative collection from more than two dozen leaders in and scholars of the Spirit-empowered movement in Asia and Oceania. Focusing on the future of the movement, these world-renowned scholars address the theological and cultural challenges of the new century and share emerging insights on how the next generation will face them.
