CH547/847: HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE PENTECOSTAL & CHARISMATIC MOVEMENTS (4/6 Units: 160/355 hours). Cecil M. Robeck Jr.

DESCRIPTION: This course is designed to introduce students to the history of the various Pentecostal, Charismatic, and related global “Movements of the Spirit.” Students will be guided in discussions related to a number of historiographical, theological, sociological, anthropological, and psychological concerns. The establishment of sources for the study of these movements, as well as issues that range from primitivism, restorationism, and independence to institutionalization and ecumenism will be covered.

LEARNING OUTCOMES: This course should enable students (1) to gain a sense of the current historiographic discussions, (2) to identify historiographic resources, (3) to identify and define the nature of various Pentecostal and Charismatic movements, (4) to identify some of the more important relevant themes in these movements, and (5) to understand some of the more important regional developments.

COURSE FORMAT: This class meets once or twice weekly for two hour sessions for a total of 36 instructional hours in the classroom for lecture, discussion, and presentations. Students will also be expected to participate in a day-long tour (8 hours) of early Pentecostal sites in Los Angeles. Classroom and Tour participation will provide 40 instructional hours. Further instructions may be found in the syllabus.

REQUIRED READING: MA and MDiv students are expected to read approximately 1500 pages. PhD students are expected to read approximately 3000 pages. All students will receive a bibliography of about 400 pages. The bibliography will be broken down into a wide range of historical, theological, and developmental topics. Allan Anderson, et. al.
