Pentecostal Political Theology

A healthy and fruitful political theology is essential for the future of Pentecostal and Charismatic movements worldwide. This book offers crucial reflections on how to develop this area of theology.



First, Binyet presents a central debate in political theology: the rift between neo-traditional and liberal Augustinianism. This debate helps situating the emerging voices of Pentecostal and Charismatic scholarship within the field of political theology, revealing the diversity, creativity, and significant potential of Pentecostal and Charismatic approaches to politics.



Second, this incisive work provides a constructive proposal for the development of Pentecostal and Charismatic political theology. This analysis is grounded in the underlying conviction that Pentecostal and Charismatic spirituality is inherently political, and that political theology should begin with the ecclesial practices of Pentecostalism.



Binyet advocates for a critical yet radical embrace of Pentecostal and Charismatic spirituality, particularly its charismatic and apocalyptic dimensions, as a means to engage fruitfully with the political realm.
