What Makes Pentecostal Higher Education pentecostal?
Abstract
This article will first explore some of the common themes identified in the current literature exploring Pentecostal Higher Education. The themes studied include: the formation of students; the importance of faith-filled faculty; and, a curriculum that seeks truth as led by the Spirit of truth. Yet, as these values are not distinctly Pentecostal a model is proposed based on the five-fold gospel to provide the framework for a unique approach to Pentecostal education. Secondly, this schema of the five-fold gospel is explored. Each tenet is described and applied as an educational priority for Pentecostal Higher Education. In this way, the values and spirituality of Pentecostalism are deliberately infused into the Higher Education institution.
