Abstract:
Emphasizing the the imminent return of Christ and focusing on missionary activities and maximum absorption, the Pentecostal movement came to the fore in the early twentieth century. But decades later, due to the non-fulfillment of their prediction, they focused on the global, social culture issues. Church building, localization of churches and their leadership, cultural orientationism are among their cultural approaches as helping poor, paying attention to youth and their leadership in churches, urban and street advertising along with taking part in public affairs are among the most important social approaches of Pentecostalism. Using data analysis method and focusing on the Pentecostal written sources, this paper seeks to introduce the Pentecostal missionary social-cultural approaches and their challenges and problems such as Church building, leadership among the Pentecost and ignoring the elite communities.

Title :تأملی بر رویکردهای فرهنگی ـ اجتماعی پنطیکاستی‌ها در حوزه تبشیر
Abstract:
جنبش پنطیکاستی، که در اوائل قرن بیستم و با تأکید بر مسئله بازگشت قریب الوقوع مسیح پا به عرصه وجود نهاد، در ابتدا، تمرکز خود را بر تبشیر مسیحیت و جذب حداکثری وقف کرد. اما با گذشت چند دهه و عدم ظهور مجدد مسیح، رویکردهای تبشیری خود را به مسائل این جهانی، فرهنگی ـ اجتماعی معطوف کرد. توجه به امر کلیساسازی، بومی سازی کلیساها و رهبری آنها و سیاق گرایی فرهنگی، از عمده رویکردهای فرهنگی و توجه به اقشار ضعیف جامعه در کنار توجه به جوانان و مسئله رهبری آنها در کلیساها، تبلیغات شهری و خیابانی و همچنین، مشارکت در امور عام المنفعه، از مهم ترین رویکردهای اجتماعی پنطیکاستی ها محسوب می شود. این پژوهش، با بررسی منابع مکتوب پنطیکاستی در پی آن است، تا پس از معرفی عمده رویکردهای فرهنگی ـ اجتماعی پنطیکاستی ها در حوزه تبشیر، با روش تحلیل داده ها، ثابت کند که مقوله کلیساسازی و رهبری در میان پنطیکاستی ها، با چالش هایی روبرو بوده، توجه نکردن به نخبگان جوامع، از مهم ترین اشکالات این رویکرد محسوب می شود.
