Integration in Pentecostal Theological Education in South Africa

Elias Letwaba and Patmos Bible School

Description

Using Elias Letwaba's Patmos Bible School as a model, Mookgo Solomon Kgatle theorizes Pentecostal theological education and integration in a South African context.

In this book, Kgatle discusses the life and impact of one of the first African gospel ministers in the Apostolic Faith Mission of South Africa and founder of the Patmos Bible School, Elias Letwaba (1870–1959). Letwaba's theological approach towards integration and religious education provides rich inspiration for contemporary Pentecostal ministers and educators. Working from this model, Kgatle formulates his own approach to integrated Pentecostal theological education. This form of integration and theological education is particularly important within a South African context, where the Pentecostalist movement has largely been overlooked and underexplored.
