The Spirit, Indigenous Peoples and Social Change
MÄori and a Pentecostal Theology of Social Engagement
Series: - Global Pentecostal and Charismatic Studies, Volume: 30
Author:
In The Spirit, Indigenous Peoples and Social Change Michael Frost explores a pentecostal theology of social engagement in relation to MÄori in New Zealand. Pentecostalism has had an ambiguous relationship with MÄori and, in particular, lacks a robust and coherent theological framework for engaging in issues of social concern. Drawing on a number of interviews with MÄori pentecostal leaders and ministers, Frost explores the transformative role of pentecostal experience for MÄori cultural identity, a holistic theology of mission, an indigenous prophetic emphasis, and consequent connections between pentecostalism and liberation. He thus contributes a way forward for pentecostal theologies of social change in relation to MÄori, with implications for pentecostalism and indigenous peoples in the West.
Michael J. Frost, Ph.D (2016), University of Otago, lectures theology at Alphacrucis College in New Zealand. He originally studied science, exploring the relationship between emotional trauma and personal wellbeing, but his recent theological research focuses on pentecostalism and social transformation.
