| Summary: | This introduction to the special issue on Religious Authority in Practice in Contemporary Evangelical, Charismatic, and Pentecostal Christianity begins by outlining "Evangelicalism" as an emic and etic concept and briefly introducing how and why it can be used as an umbrella term, including Charismatic and Pentecostal Christianity as well. It then introduces "authority" as a sociological concept from various theoretical perspectives and relates it to the field of Evangelical, Charismatic and Pentecostal Christianity. We emphasize that authority should be understood as a relationship that considers both sides, rulers and subjects. This special issue therefore focuses on this relationship and the emergence, negotiation and transformation of authority. Finally, it provides a summary of the empirical research results to be found in the issue’s individual contributions with a particular focus on how these contribute to ongoing debates in the broad field of Evangelicals and authority. |
