| Summary: | This article frames Black Pentecostal theology as a Spirit-baptized, diasporic, and liberative theological tradition emerging from the lived realities of Black Pentecostal communities. Grounded in signification, this theology reclaims meaning-making from Eurocentric categories and centers Black experience, history, and spiritual encounter. Emphasizing embodiment, communal worship, pneumatological imagination, and eschatological hope, it resists reductionist framings and affirms the dynamic, polyphonic, and Spirit-led nature of Black faith. Black Renewal theology is not merely doctrinal but lived—sung, danced, testified, and struggled into being—a theology of resistance, remembrance, and renewal, attuned to the rhythms of Black life and the transforming work of the Holy Spirit. |
