Overview

In Lewi Pethrus’ Ecclesiological Thought 1911-1974: A Transdenominational Pentecostal Ecclesiology, Tommy Davidsson presents a chronological survey of the ecclesiology of the Swedish Pentecostal pioneer, Lewi Pethrus (1884-1974). The presentation is the first study of its kind and it demonstrates by means of a historical analysis the underlying factors that contributed to the formation of ecclesiological beliefs among Pentecostals. The insights from the historical analysis are then applied to a global setting. By employing Roger Haight’s Transdenominational Ecclesiology, Davidsson proposes a methodology that serves as a helpful tool when assessing the unifying values that characterise highly diverse Pentecostal communities worldwide.

Gerade darin liegt jedocht der besondere Wert des Buchs: Neben den materialen (Neu-)Erkenntnissen zur Geschichte von Pethrus' Theologie regt es dazu an, ein analytisch scharferes Instrumentarium zum Umgang mit dem Universalismus/Partikularismus-Problem innerhalb der Pentkostalismusstudien zu erarbeiten und Darstellungsformen zu finden, die der Komplexitat des Forschungsgegenstands gerecht werden. - Giovanni Maltese, Theologische Literaturzeitung Vol. 141 (2017) 5.
