A 'THICK DESCRIPTION' OF TWO BIBLE STUDIES BY THE BELHAR LIGHTHOUSE GROUP

  • Douglas G Lawrie Department of Religion and Theology University of the Western Cape

Abstract

Profile of the group This group functions as a "cell" of the Lighthouse, a relatively new Pentecostal church in the Cape Peninsula. The members of the group are virtually all people who belonged to other churches before they joined the Lighthouse. Beneath the surface of "Lighthouse theology", which is charismatic and conservatively evangelical (with a strong emphasis on personal conversion), one thus finds traces of many different ecclesiastical traditions.
