This article argues that discussions on the biblical interpretation issues that underpin the problematic expressions of the prosperity gospel within Pentecostalism have been helpful. However, given the affect-economic nexus in passages like 1 Tim 6.10, the article also contends that there need to be discussions addressing the affect-related matters of desire, denial, and the mirroring of consumer culture that often characterize these problematic expressions. Therefore, the article will discuss how a combined reading of the affect-related concepts in René Girard’s mimetic theory and Steven Jack Land’s assessment of Pentecostal spirituality can be used as a heuristic device to examine Pentecostal engagement with the prosperity gospel phenomenon. Finally, the article will claim that this combined reading can be instrumental to Pentecostal discernment regarding the contours of a sound Pentecostal engagement with the prosperity gospel.
本文认为，关于圣经解释问题的讨论是有帮助的，这些问题是五旬节派中成功福音有问题的表达的基础。然而，考虑到像提姆前书6章10节这样的段落中情感与经济的联系，这篇文章还认为，有必要讨论与情感相关的问题，如欲望、拒绝和消费文化的镜像，这些问题往往是这些问题表达的特征。因此，本文将讨论如何将ren·吉拉德(ren Girard)的模仿理论和史蒂文·杰克·兰德(Steven Jack Land)对五旬节派灵性的评估中与情感相关的概念结合起来，作为一种启发式手段，来检验五旬节派与成功福音现象的联系。最后，这篇文章将声称，这种组合阅读可以帮助五旬节派辨别关于五旬节派与成功福音的良好接触的轮廓。

The triad of Spirit, Word, and Community is a model that often represents Pentecostal hermeneutics. Focusing on the Word—a particularly elusive term for the Pentecostal hermeneutics—this study suggests some insights from an ethnography among Latin Pentecostal networks in the Nordic countries. Despite holding the Word with high regard, it exists as an “unbound Bible.” The Word is multiform: the Bible as an artifact, the relational divine agent, and a message. Many interpretative practices shape and limit the content of this unbound Bible. These interpretative practices include an analogical narrative reading that associates migration stories with biblical content, transnational and multilingual contexts, and a fragmentary and recursive reconfiguring of biblical texts for proper occasions. This study contributes to understanding migrant hermeneutics and discusses the Pentecostal triadic model of Spirit, Word, and Community.

With almost 800 million followers, scholars from numerous fields have examined Pentecostalism—composed of congregations from Protestantism, Catholicism, and Orthodox Churches—attempting to explain its wide appeal and diverse practices. Why has Pentecostalism been able to adapt to each unique context so effectively? Are there universal traits that unite all Pentecostals? While these questions have interested and confounded scholars and practitioners alike, a fundamental and crucial question has remained unanswered: what exactly is Pentecostalism? Without a framework for understanding Pentecostalism, very little progress can be made into understanding the movement. Unlike previous definitional efforts that restrict the movement to “Western,” dualistic paradigms, this paper argues that Tiantai Buddhist philosophy provides Pentecostalism with a dynamic framework that enables fluid movement with the Holy Spirit without issue or concern. Tiantai’s Three Truths allow Pentecostals from multifarious contexts to flow with the Spirit in their distinctive way, resulting in freedom.

Contemporary Pentecostal/charismatic Christianity in Africa has adopted new and innovative symbols that fits its theology of prosperity, empowerment, and upward mobility. This article focuses on one of them: the eagle. The features and behavior patterns of the eagle help contemporary Pentecostals to use its symbolic features in articulating a pneumatology of upward mobility, elevation, success and prosperity. The pneumatology of the eagle is a global contemporary Pentecostal phenomenon. In this pneumatology, the eagle, with its powers of vision, longevity, strength, height and renewal, appears in contemporary Pentecostal prosperity discourses as a symbol of aspiration, which appeals very strongly to the sensibilities of upwardly mobile young people who tenaciously embrace the new charismatic fervour.
