He explores the Trinitarian foundations of Pentecostal mission and the biblical roots of pneumatology, and it analyses Spirit baptism, infilling, and spiritual gifts-such as tongues and prophecy-as lived and regulated practices within Ghanaian churches. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt considers the full range of Pentecostal mission activity, including evangelistic methods, leadership and governance structures, discipleship models, and processes for integrating new believers into congregational life. The book also engages the movement's extensive social involvement, examining initiatives in poverty alleviation, education, healthcare, economic empowerment, civic responsibility, and anti-corruption efforts. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFinally, it identifies the contemporary challenges Ghanaian Pentecostalism faces, including digital ministry, generational transitions, the development of women's leadership, and the global implications of “reverse mission” and diasporic networks. Addressing a clear gap in scholarship on the missiological significance of pneumatological experience in Ghana, the volume offers a framework that connects doctrine and practice for scholars of Pentecostalism, world Christianity, African Christianity, and mission studies\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePeter White\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor in Missiology and Pentecostal Theology at the Faculty of Theology at Stellenbosch University, South Africa.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21 January 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eT\u0026amp;T Clark\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780567731920\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e192\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52227881730188,"sku":"9780567731920","price":103.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_e0f3b512-afb8-4b73-b10e-79c577a0dbdc.jpg?v=1786502374","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780567731920","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
