Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
This thesis demonstrates through qualitative survey analysis that Western missionaries working with Russian Pentecostals in an Orthodox context must seriously engage the host culture, history, and religion for effective ministry. As a resource for an intentional, specialized approach to missionary preparation, a survey of relevant literature, a review of key socio-religious moments in the development of Pentecostalism in Russia, and an examination of theological concerns of the Orthodox context guides the reader toward a clearer understanding of Russian Pentecostals. A brief comparative analysis of East-West worldviews and mindset strengthens the argument and serves as a foundation for further exploration.
