APSC researchers from across several disciplines utilise a range of methodological approaches to investigate the dynamic and fast-changing landscape of Pentecostal beliefs, practices, institutions, and their socio-cultural impact. APSC Researchers explore the place of theological ideas and biblical texts in contemporary Pentecostalism, while also addressing contemporary social issues through a Pentecostal lens.
Particular areas of research concentration include the interface between biblical studies and Pentecostal theology, and the complex dynamics of spiritual experience in Pentecostal communities today. Theses and publications produced by the APSC seek to understand and demonstrate the theological foundations and contemporary expressions of Pentecostalism in a way that fosters informed theological engagement with social and global issues.
