Abstract

147 David Bundy SWEDISH PENTECOSTAL MISSION THEORY AND PRACTICE TO 1930: Foundational Values in Conflict* Mission undertaken by Swedish Pentecostals has had a major role in the transformation of the world religious scene. As case studies have indicated, their contribution has been highly individualistic and not conducive to easy generalizations. 1 Despite the frequently- remarked omnipresence of Swedish (and other Scandinavian--see Bundy forthcoming) missionaries, at crucial developmental moments, in the areas where Pentecostalism has grown most quickly, little historical, theological or sociological study has been done. That which has been done is remarkable but often not easily accessible to scholars outside Sweden. For example, hoke Boberg described Swedish mission history and provided for the first time careful statistical material (Boberg 1990). The Missions Institutet-PMU has also given attention to the historical development in particular countries. Thus Jan-Endy Johannesson provided detailed historical data and an analysis of Swedish Pentecostal mission in China (Johannesson 1992) and Barbro and Eric Andresson have provided similar material on India (Andresson 1989). Knowledge of Brazilian Pentecostal history has been enhanced by the publication of a revised volume by the son of early Pentecostal missionaries to Brazil (Vingren 1994).
