{"product_id":"pentecostal-voice-on-the-joint-declaration-on-the-doctrine-of-justification","title":"Pentecostal Voice on the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification","description":"The Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification which is considered to be\u003cbr\u003e‘a milestone on the journey of ecumenism’ has a very significant place in the theological-ecumenical realm since it hoped to overcome the disunity between\u003cbr\u003ethe protestant Churches and the Catholic Church at large. This work analyzes\u003cbr\u003eand redefines the JDDJ from a Pentecostal perspective, and proposes a new\u003cbr\u003ePentecostal view of ecumenism for this century. The major questions that are\u003cbr\u003econsidered here are: what is the ecumenical and ecclesiastical significance of this\u003cbr\u003eJoint Declaration in the 21st century, what are the neglected theological elements\u003cbr\u003ein the Joint Declaration, what are the controversial issues connected to the JDDJ\u003cbr\u003eand what challenge can it give to the present world of Christianity?.\u003cbr\u003eThe JDDJ has become a basis for theological agreement and further discussions.\u003cbr\u003eThis study also brings out ecumenical and theological understandings of the\u003cbr\u003ePentecostal Church and substantiates the Pentecostal assessment of the\u003cbr\u003eJDDJ. The first chapter has two parts: the first part explains the research topic,\u003cbr\u003emethodology and the importance of the research; and the second part gives an\u003cbr\u003eoutline of the Pentecostal movement and its theology mainly with regard to the\u003cbr\u003edoctrine of justification. The second chapter deals primarily with the significant\u003cbr\u003estages and influences that helped for the formation of JDDJ. The last part of\u003cbr\u003ethis chapter explains the responses of other churches to the JDDJ. The third\u003cbr\u003echapter presents a Pentecostal response to the JDDJ, which starts with a positive\u003cbr\u003eevaluation and will be followed by a negative response to the same. The fourth\u003cbr\u003echapter expounds the development of a paradigm model for the ecumenical\u003cbr\u003ethinking of the 21st century from a Pentecostal point of view.\u003cbr\u003eThe Proposed slogan for this century can be “back to Pentecost” and be united\u003cbr\u003ein the love and power of the Holy Spirit. Because it is said that Pentecostal\u003cbr\u003eexperience of the 1st-century Christianity has had a true Ecumenism, which was\u003cbr\u003esomehow lost in the long run. Nevertheless, methodological shifts in the approach\u003cbr\u003eto ecumenism can still make a change. When such a step is taken, the good\u003cbr\u003enews of unity of Christians will become a reality. Only then one can say that the\u003cbr\u003econdemnation of the 16th century regarding the doctrine of justification is invalid.","brand":"Peter Lang AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54247896645976,"sku":"9783631806678","price":68.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9783631806678.jpg?v=1777811425","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/pentecostal-voice-on-the-joint-declaration-on-the-doctrine-of-justification","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
