Lamp s I was pulling into campus one recent morning, mulling over the tasksA that lay before me for the day, the late Michael Jackson’s song “Man in the Mirror” was blasting through the speakers of my truck radio. Th e song had a beat that made Michael Jackson famous, but it was the words that caught my attention at that moment. Th e lyrics are of a more introspective nature than is typically associated with this artist. In them, the singer urges himself to look into the mirror, to take an assessment of himself, and to make a change in himself if he wishes to make the world a better place. It was only later in the day that I would see how this musical episode in the cab of my pickup would impinge on the current issue of Spiritus. Th at afternoon, I began the task of reading through the accepted submissions for this issue, performing the laborious task of the initial copyedit, when a pattern began to emerge. If what has come to be called “Pentecostalism” got its formal start with the revival at Azusa, that means it is currently a bit more than a decade into its second century. Th is is clearly more than enough time to discern trajectories within the movement, to assess its current state, and to project its future. As I perused the collection of articles published in this issue, it became apparent that virtually all of them undertake to look at where Pentecostalism has been and where it is going, to call Pentecostals to “look in the mirror,” to adapt Mr. Jackson’s language, to perform an inventory of the present in light of the past in order to shape the future. In many ways, this issue took shape around an event that happened on the ORU campus in March 2018. Craig S. Keener gave a presentation to the university community on what he termed “Spirit hermeneutics,” drawing on his recent volume of the same name. In his talk, he placed his approach to hermeneutics directly into the ongoing quest of many Pentecostal scholars to develop a distinctive Pentecostal hermeneutic. Keener’s approach, while

  • Every Book in the Bible, Either Directly Or Indirectly, Tells You ___It Was
    Every book in the Bible, either directly or indirectly, tells you _________ it was written. Today’s text in Galatians does just that as we will see the very reason for the letter. It is important to note that within the ranks of Christianity these four verses are softened up in ______________ Bibles by mistranslations and rewording, or by simply avoiding these scriptures completely. It seems better in this lukewarm age to side- step this hard issue and let it go unchecked rather than hitting it head on and allowing its truth to convict hearts and transform lives.

  • New Religious Movements
    New Religious Movements New Religious Movements: Challenge and response is a searching and wide-ranging collection of essays on the contemporary phenomenon of new religions. The contributors to this volume are all established specialists in the sociology, theology, law, or the history of new minority movements. The primary focus is the response of the basic institutions of society to the challenge which new religious movements represent. The orientation of this volume is to examine the way in which new movements in general have affected modern society in areas such as economic organisation; the operation of the law; the role of the media; the relationship of so-called ‘cult’ membership to mental health; and the part which women have played in leading or supporting new movements. Specific instances of these relationships are illustrated by reference to many of the most prominent new religions – Hare Krishna, The Brahma Kumaris, The Unification Church, The Jesus Army, The Family’, The Church of Scientology, and Wicca. For students of religion or sociology, New Religious Movements is an invaluable source of information, an example of penetrating analysis, and a series of thought-provoking contributions to a debate which affects many areas of contemporary life in many parts of the world. Contributors: Eileen Barker, James Beckford, Anthony Bradney, Colin Campbell, George Chryssides, Peter Clarke, Paul Heelas, Massimo Introvigne, Lawrence Lilliston, Gordon Melton, Elizabeth Puttick, Gary Shepherd, Colin Slee, Frank Usarski, Bryan Wilson. Bryan Wilson is an Emeritus Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford. He is the author and editor of several books on sects and New Religious Movements.

  • “The Pentecostalization of Global Christianity” the Challenge of Cessationism in the 21St Century
    “The Pentecostalization of Global Christianity” The Challenge of Cessationism in the 21st Century Signs & Wonders Seminar - East Africa Baptist School of Theology Nairobi, Kenya * 18, July 2015 Jeff Straub, Ph.D. These lectures were originally given at Central Baptist Seminary in Minneapolis, MN in 2015 by Dr. Jeff Straub. This manuscript is still in development, and should not be considered polished and final. Do not duplicate this without permission. Lecture One 19TH CENTURY ANTECEDENTS TO 20TH CENTURY PENTECOSTALISM INTRODUCTION Today we are here to talk about the face of global Christianity. According to a Pew Charitable Trust study released in 2011, based on data gathered the previous year, it was estimated that the global Christian population stood at 2.18 billion people of an estimated world population of 6.9 billion. These numbers were further divided into a split of just over 50% identified as Roman Catholic, with 36.7% claiming to be Protestants, another 11.9% listed as Orthodox, leaving 1.3% to be described as “other Christians,” including Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses. The purpose of our deliberations today is not to quibble over what is and is not a Christian. We accept that the only proper definition of a “Christian,” is one who has accepted by faith the Gospel of Jesus Christ and is striving to walk in a manner commensurate with the Word of God. Nevertheless, there are many in the world today that consider themselves Christians by one definition or another and the Pew study factors in the broadest range of those individuals for the purpose of analyzing the global phenomena known as Christianity.1 According to Pew’s figures, in the past 100 years the global Christian population has increased from 600 million in 1910 out of a possible world population estimated at 1.8 billion to the current levels.

  • A Brief Summary of the Way International and Its Primary Teachings
    A brief summary of The Way International and its primary teachings The "Way" movement is causing considerable confusion in some communities. This article shows that it is a different way of salvation than the Biblical way taught by traditional Christianity. 1. The founder The founder of The Way International is Victor Paul Wierwille, who was born in 1917 and raised in the Evangelical and Reformed Church. He claims that God spoke to him audibly in 1942 telling him that He would teach Wierwille "the Word as it had not been known since the first century" if he would teach it to others. In 1953, he learned to "receive the holy spirit into manifestation," that is, he learned to speak in tongues. 2. The foundation The Word of God "rightly divided" is the foundation on which The Way movement rests. Wierwille, as a modern apostle who believes he was chosen by God to bring new light to the present generation, is held by his followers to be the present day spiritual leader who can "rightly divide" the Word. Present day versions and translations of the Bible are considered inaccurate and believed to contain errors. When interpreted and "corrected" by the spiritual leader, Wierwille, the Bible then becomes the "accurate" Word of God which followers can also "rightly divide." 3. The structure The way is structured like a tree. The Board of Directors is the root . The Headquarters in New Knoxville, Ohio, is the trunk . State organizations constitute the limbs , while city groups are the branches . Bible study groups in homes and on campuses are the twigs , and individual members of such groups are the leaves .

  • Mark Crooks, on the Psychology of Demon Possession: the Occult
    On the Psychology of Demon Possession: The Occult Personality Mark Crooks** Institute of Mind and Behavior Abstract: The notions of possession within psychiatry, psychology, anthropology, parapsychology, and demonology are evaluated as to their relative de/merits. The sheer quantity of evidence as to the phenomenology (descriptive facts) of possession means it transcends any dismissal as anecdotal in kind (e.g., the academically archetypal Biblical possession case involving the swine stampede — a so-called “poltergeist,” here redefined as pan-demon-ium — following the expulsion of the Legion demons). Copious empirical data concerning possession are the same for all contending interpretations, so the prime question is which interpretation has the simplest, most comprehensive explanatory hypothesis. There is a great logical and empirical rigor that may be attached to the traditional conception of demonology. A stereotyped antithesis between science and superstition is suggestive but an alternative, actual dichotomy obtains between good and better hypotheses, which map the same evidential field of facts shared by Biblical demonology and its competing interpretations of possession. “Satan stealthily creeps on us, and by degrees allures us by clandestine arts, so that when we go astray we know not that we are going astray. Thus gradually we slide, until at length we rush headlong into ruin.”—John Calvin (1549). By Way of Introduction Utilizing the traditional criteria of empirical proof and explanation, demonology can be ** This manuscript was first published in The Journal of Mind and Behavior, Volume 39, Number 4, 2018. I dedicate this paper to my two intellectually empathic souls, Stephen Harrison and John Smythies, who both charitably supported me in my first philosophical and publishing endeavors.

  • Why I Had to Escape a Fundamentalist Cult by Charlene L
    Why I Had to Escape a Fundamentalist Cult By Charlene L. Edge I was a born-again college freshman in 1970 when sincere Christians recruited me into The Way International, founded by Victor Paul Wierwille. He marketed his organization as a biblical research, teaching, and fellowship ministry, but it was a fundamentalist cult that grew to about 40,000 graduates of Wierwille’s classes worldwide. I had only wanted to know, love, and serve God and understand the Bible—what harm could that bring? After 17 years in the cult, I realized some of the harm it had brought me. The harm originated with Wierwille’s character—he was a charismatic, authoritarian fundamentalist, a dangerous mix—and his nonnegotiable belief in the inerrancy of Scripture, for which he used fear to compel others to share. While working at Way headquarters during 1984 to 1987, the final years of my involvement, I awakened to the reality that Wierwille did not teach “the accurate Word of God” as he’d claimed, nor was he the man of God I had believed in. For my own well-being, I had to escape. How I Got in The Way In college I was searching for more than a degree in English. I wanted truth. At the time, college campuses around the United States were coping with student demonstrations protesting the Vietnam War. A protest at Kent State University in Ohio, a few months before I entered college, had ended in tragedy. The National Guard opened fire, killing four students and seriously injuring nine. Outrage, confusion, and fear ensued.
