Pentecostal theological education and its thematic nuclei and dialogue with Theoambientology

Abstract

The secularized world opens space for human supremacy and its rights. The human being in its self-sufficiency is complete. This feeling of denial of God arising from modern rationalism was confronted by Pentecostalism, the religion of experience, that which embraces the spiritual through the outpouring of power and brings God and his Spirit to the center of all things. Pentecostal theologians hold that Pentecostal theology has the potential to unite the dialogue between the religious phenomenon, the orthodoxy of faith, and praxis, that is, orthopraxy because these pillars prepare it for the different plural contexts of the contemporary 21st century. Our proposal is that this potential is channeled to a broader sense of mission and for both propose openness to the environmental issue as one of the foundations for missionary practice. In this sense, we argue that, for the present day, Pentecostal theological education and this includes mission, can review their theological teaching programs including in their core programs or curriculum the knowledge of environmental education, considering the theological milestones of the Transforming mission. Such a review matters in what we are calling Theoambientology.
