Pentecostal Preaching and Ministry in Multicultural and Post-Christian Canada: 4 (McMaster Ministry Studies)

Over the past forty years Canada has become an increasingly secular multicultural and religiously plural society. Indeed the church in Canada and Pentecostals in particular face a challenging context for responding to the call to bear witness to Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit. Like the disciples on the day of Pentecost however we need the Holy Spirit to come upon us and liberate us from our post-Christian pessimism. We need the Holy Spirit to enable us to proclaim the gospel to the nations people that are no longer at the ends of the earth but making their home in Canada. This book engages this new context and considers and proposes ways that pentecostal Christians and churches can respond to the challenges of the increasingly post-Christian multicultural secular and religiously plural context of Canadian society.
