Part 2: Faith Community Conversation:
Transformative Revival
The basis for Pentecostal social thinking and action spring from a transforming experience, an empowerment derived from an intense, transcendent sense of the divine presence (Petersen, 1996:187).
In Part 1, I described an urban missiology hermeneutic that integrates contextual analysis, theological reflection and missional praxis. Part 2 focuses on the faith community conversation about theological and strategic processes of transformative revival.

Chapter 5 and Chapter 7 examine NZ wide revival and engagement. Theology: Chapter 6 develops the theme of revival. Integration: Chapter 8 integrates these reflections into a theory of transformative revival. Theology: Chapter 9 expands prophetic elements of revival.
