The role of women in church leadership is controversial; however, the Pentecostal tradition, and specifically the Assemblies of God, has held that women can serve at all levels of church leadership. There is no role that is off-limits to women. Citing their distinctive approach to theology, Pentecostals embrace women's leadership in policy, but in practice, women are often frustrated by the lack of opportunity and representation in leadership roles. By exploring the rhetorical history, how Pentecostals talk about the role of women, the purpose of this book is to expose those rhetorical constraints that create dissonance and discontentment. This book explores how Pentecostals use and are used by language that shapes this dissonance and how that impacts the lived reality of both men and women in the Pentecostal tradition.
The disconnection between spirituality and passionate love leaves a broad sense of dissatisfaction and boredom in relationships. The author illustrates how our vitality and capacity for joy depend on restoring the soul of the sacred prostitute to its rightful place in consciousness.
Historical papers are prefixed to several issues.
With the Assemblies of God now over a century old, this book takes a fresh look at critical issues in the AG’s origins. While not a comprehensive retelling, this book is a series of essays that explore different historiographical issues that will clarify or correct historical narratives with new research. Topics include re-examining the early relationship with the Church of God in Christ, assessing the AG’s evangelical identity, and attitudes toward theology and education. Some three decades since the last AG history, this volume will shed new light on these important theological and cultural issues to better understand its roots. Perhaps these conversations will help the AG better understand its history as the fellowship approaches the problems it faces today.
