Course Description:
Charismatic theology is more than just a theology of spiritual gifts; worship, Bibliology, sanctification, and ecclesiology are also central. Learners will complete a historical and theological study of the origins and developments of Classical Pentecostalism, Charismatic Renewalism, and Restoration Movements, with emphasis given to theological backgrounds and trends. Lectures also analyze other related movements, including the "Jesus Only" Movement, the Vineyard Movement, and the Toronto Revival Movement. Throughout the course, the pros and cons of the various charismatic movements are presented so that students can make informed decisions on what a "victorious Christian life" entails.
Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to:
- Gain insight into the fundamental concepts of the Charismatic Movements.
- Identify the theological differences between the Holiness, Pentecostal, Charismatic, and Restorationist groups.
- Trace the history of the Pentecostal Movement from its origin in the American Holiness Movement to its current manifestations.
- Recognize the contribution of Pentecostalism to religious history in America.
