The Society for Pentecostal Studies (SPS) is an international society of scholars interested in Pentecostal and Charismatic studies. Though many of the more than 500 members of the Society belong to Pentecostal or Charismatic churches, a number of those involved in the Society's annual meetings are from other churches or university settings. In 1979, Pneuma first appeared as the Journal of the SPS, becoming a major medium for the international discussion of scholarly issues related to Pentecostal and Charismatic studies. Articles have appeared on matters related to biblical studies, ethics, ecumenism, history, missions, philosophy, praxis, religion and culture, and theology, among others. The Journal strongly holds to an ecumenical and international vision. We trust that the Journal will bring the scholarship of the SPS to the broader awareness of the academy and the churches for the mutual benefit of both.
