PlainSpoken Concerns About Charismatic Christianity - A Conversation with Jeffrey Anderson
Of the different expressions of the Christian faith, the charismatic strand has been most prolific across the globe. It is outpacing every other strand of the Christian faith in making disciples in myriad cultures. Charismatic Christianity largely came out of my own tradition, Methodism, when we grew too lukewarm. Yet as it revived the concern for the Holy Ghost, it also left behind a good deal of liturgy and doctrine behind. For that reason, I and many others have felt concern as Methodism in the Global Methodist expression has worked to grow closer in resemblance to the Charismatic tradition.
In this conversation, Dr. Anderson of Regent University, a systematic theologian and lifelong Charismatic Christian, helps me to reckon with the excesses of a tradition that clearly has a lot of gifts to offer. He's a good conversation partner for me: humble and charitable in disposition.
