Thinking in Tongues: Pentecostal Contributions to Christian Philosophy (Pentecostal Manifestos (PM) Book 1)

by James K.A. Smith

I think the key elements of pentecostal/charismatic spirituality represent the way to be authentically Christian.

I suggest we can identify five key elements of a distinctively pentecostal worldview:107 (1) a position of radical openness to God, and in particular, God doing something differently or new; (2) an “enchanted” theology of creation and culture; (3) a nondualistic affirmation of embodiment and materiality; (4) an affective, narrative epistemology; and (5) an eschatological orientation to mission and justice.
