| Summary: | A scholarship of engagement is an approach that connects knowledge systems to the challenges facing society in a meaningful way. This article reviews the literature on Pentecostal missiology to make a new contribution through a scholarship of engagement. Previous studies on Pentecostal missiology have focused on how Pentecostals conduct their mission and very little on how they engage societal problems. This leaves a gap in how Pentecostal missiology as a discipline engages wounded society, particularly in a South African context. Wounds found within South African society, such as gender-based violence, crime, effects of COVID-19, corruption, climate change, and economic crises are highlighted. This article aims to illustrate that Pentecostal missiology must be aware of societal wounds to be able to truly engage with wounded societies. The study challenges Pentecostal missiologists to not only focus on Pentecostal missions inwardly but to also engage society and its challenges through a scholarship of engagement. 参与性的学术研究是一种将知识系统与社会面临的挑战，以有意义的方式联系起来的方法。本文回顾了五旬节宣教学的文献，通过参与性的学术研究做出新的贡献。以前关于五旬节宣教学的研究主要集中在五旬节教会如何进行宣教，而很少涉及如何参与社会问题。特别是在南非的背景下，五旬节宣教学作为一门学科如何参与社会方面存在一定的空白。南非社会存在的伤痕，如性别暴力、犯罪、新冠肺炎的影响、腐败、气候变化和经济危机被强调。本文旨在阐明，五旬节宣教学必须意识到社会的伤痕，才能真正参与到受伤社会中去。该研究挑战五旬节宣教学者不仅要关注内部五旬节宣教，还要通过参与性研究参与到社会及其面对的挑战中去。 |
