Dr. Amos Yong, one of the most prolific Pentecostal scholars, and B.U. alumnus, gave two energetic and thought-provoking lectures on Pentecostal theology. He received a Ph.D. from Boston University in religion and theology under the direction of Professor Robert Neville in 1999.<\/p>\n

In the first lecture, titled, \u201cGlobal Renewal & Christian Theology for the 3rd Millennium: Opportunities-Challenges,\u201d Dr. Yong presented Pentecostalism as a renewal theology. After briefly introducing the overview of the global renewal movement, he pointed out that the global church has seen two overlapping phenomena: the gradual \u201cPentecostalization\u201d and \u201cChrismatization\u201d of the global church, and the \u201cEvangelization\u201d of the Pentecostal churches. Then, he presented the possibility of a renewal theology, distinct from classical Pentecostal theologies such as \u201cevangelical-theology-plus.\u201d He ended his first lecture by introducing his upcoming book, the Renewal of Christian Theology: System and Dogmatic Reconsiderations for a Global Christianity.<\/p>\n

In the second lecture, titled \u201cRenewing Christian Historiography: Toward a P(new)matological History of Christian Thought,\u201d he explored the possibility of new Christian historiography, which can challenge and complement traditional historiographic paradigms. Key features of the renewing historiography include \u201centhusiastic\/charismatic\u201d history of Christian thought, interfacing with the history of Christian spirituality, and hearing the unheard voices of women and the poor.<\/p>\n

Both of the lectures were followed by numerous questions and produced lively discussions among the scholars and students present.<\/p>\n
