Fromtime to time, other disciplines may also be included. As the titlesuggests, the books will be published as articles of interest to ourreaders become available.This book explores the critical role of context in shapingAsian Pentecostal theology and in developing its believers'identity and mandates (or mission) in Asia. With incrediblesocio-cultural diversity in the region, sample cases are presentedat the risk of generalization. While context shapes the beliefs anddaily Christian life of Pentecostals, the same context also shapestheir self-understanding and life's meaning. I further aim todemonstrate the grassroots nature of Pentecostal spirituality andmission engagement.
