Tulisan ini berbeda karena menguraikan Pentakostalisme dari aspek antropologis bagaimana kaum intelektual Pantekosta mendefinisikan dirinya sendiri dalam berbagai situasi sosial di mana mereka hidup. Lewat penelitian gabungan kuantitatif dan kualitatif, penulis menemukan kelambanan sarjana Pantekosta untuk mendefinisikan ulang diri dan posisi strategis mereka dalam realitas sosial yang sangat luas. Sarjana Pantekosta bisa dilihat sebagai representasi wajah pendidikan tinggi Kristen di Indonesia. Kelambanan itu bermula dari proses pendidikan sarjana di lembaga pendidikan tinggi yang memiliki perasaan terlalu cinta kepada identitas sendiri sehingga berdampak buruk pada prinsip-prinsip umum dari satu sistem masyarakat luas. Tulisan ini bisa dilihat sebagai satu kontribusi Gereja Pantekosta di Indonesia terhadap studi Pentakosta secara global dari sisi antropologis dengan menggunakan sarjana Pantekosta sebagai unit analisis dalam studi agama yang masih jarang dipakai sarjana keagamaan di Indonesia.

The New Queen of the Sciences and the New Republic

In the eighteenth century Christian higher education faced several new challenges. Most notable is the Enlightenment. American schools generally incorporated moderate Enlightenment ideas into their teaching, especially the new moral philosophy growing out of the tradition of John Locke and Scottish Common Sense Philosophy. The religious dimensions of higher education were intensified by the Great Awakening and the associated New Light Movement. Yale College, founded in 1701, became by mid-century a leading New Light school. So was the College of New Jersey (Princeton), founded in 1746. A number of other new colleges had New Light connections. Thomas Clap at Yale, Jonathan Edwards, and Ezra Stiles each illustrate efforts to relate the new thought of the era to Christian teachings. The era of the American Revolution brought a new synthesis of Christian concerns and concerns for the right ordering of society, as best illustrated by the work of President John Witherspoon at Princeton.
