| Σύνοψη: | Contemporary Western Pentecostal conceptions of the Eucharist have all too often been ‘domesticated’ and stripped of the historical, social dimensions that are more commonly evident among Eastern European traditions. However, are contemporary Western Pentecostals justified in taking such approaches given the socioreligious dimensions of Greco-Roman banqueting traditions, which provide us with the historical-cultural context for understanding the Eucharist? While remaining sensitive to Pentecostal approaches to engaging with biblical and cultural hermeneutics, this paper draws on social-scientific approaches (particularly Wendy Griswold's ‘Cultural Diamond' sociology of culture model and René Girard’s mimetic theory as the defamiliarizing tool) to highlight and elucidate the nexus between the Eucharist’s religious and social domains. The aim is to signal the significance of such a comprehensive view to Western Pentecostal cultural engagement. |
