Abstract

Is the Spirit at work in and through other religions? Can the salvific work of Christ be experienced through the beliefs and practices of Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, or other religious systems when empowered by the Spirit? Are the claims of Christianity and the gospel inclusive or exclusive? What does a renewal theology of missions look like as it emerges in and engages a pluralistic global environment? The essays presented in this anthology attempt to respond to these and similar questions from a renewal perspective. Originally presented during a symposium at Regent University, the contributors “seek to address the urgent theological and missiological questions confronting renewal Christianity in a pluralistic world” (11) by suggesting a missiological engagement that does not compromise “its core theological convictions and spiritual practices” or “the gospel’s capacity to bear witness in a world of many faiths” (13). Organized in two parts, the first group of three essays addresses theoretical issues related to interreligious encounter, theology of religions, and renewal Christianity. Clarke introduces the topic with a brief overview of the key developments and challenges for interreligious dialogue while assessing emerging renewal contributions to the debate; he concludes that an African contextual pneumatology, “which draws
