Faith Engaging the Headlines
Religion is closely connected to culture. It shapes culture, sometimes challenges it, and can also be challenged in return. In “The Spirit and the Village,” Dr. Harold Bennett offers commentary, raises questions, and explores how Pentecostal spirituality can respond to a rapidly changing world. His reflections are short enough to read in minutes, yet substantive enough to challenge how you might think.
