The Holy Spirit Movement in Korea
This book traces the historical and theological development of the Holy Spirit in Korea through six successive periods.
The Holy Spirit Movement in Korea
This book traces the historical and doctrinal development of the Holy Spirit Movement in Korea through five successive periods, from 1900 to the present. The first period (1900-20) was characterised by repentance and revival, the second period (1920-40) by persecution and suffering under Japanese occupation. The third period (1940-60) was a time of confusion and division, while the fourth period (1960-80) was a time of explosive revival in which the Pentecostal movement played a major role in the rapid growth of Korean churches. In the fifth period (1980 to the present), the Holy Spirit Movement reaches out to all denominations. The book also discusses the relationship between this movement and other religions, such as shamanism, and looks forward to further engagement with issues of concern in the larger society.
The Role of the Holy Spirit in Christian Suffering
This research has focused on the role of the Holy Spirit in Christian suffering. A broad concept of suffering is excluded in the study. Of particular concern to this research is 'suffering for the sake of Jesus Christ'. Methods employed in the study are: narrative approach, dialogical approach and synthesis.
History of Korean Pentecostalism
The purpose of this study is to provide a historical framework of Korean Pentecostalism, especially its historical origins. Pentecostalism in Korea has been criticized as being heretical, superficial, and shamanistic, by liberal and conservative theologians. Boo-Woong Yoo surveys the historical theology of Korean Pentecostalism from an indigenous perspective, especially in its connection with shamanism and its social view through his book Korean Pentecostalism. He uses two standards to interpret Korean Pentecostalism: ‘Belief in the Holy Spirit’ and the ‘movement as a socio-historical structure.’ I disagree with Yoo’s definitions of Pentecostalism in analyzing Korean Pentecostalism...
A Theology of Hope
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)
Charis and Charisma
"Founded by David Yonggi Cho, Yoido Full Gospel Church is the world's largest church. This book discusses the factors responsible for the phenomenal growth of this church. The book expounds the role played by leadership, the Holy Spirit, prayer, preaching, cell groups and creativity in promoting church growth, with particular reference to Yoido Full Gospel Church. It focusses on God's Grace (charis) and Inspiring Leadership (charisma) as the two essential factors for church growth and, in this context, examines the part David Yonggi Cho's personal charisma and his ideas or principles play in causing growth. The purpose of the book is to present a model for church growth worldwide"--P. [4] of cover.
