| Zusammenfassung: | In this article, I reflect upon the articles of this special issue in selected respects. My intention is to draw together some of the recurring themes and critical threads with the goal to develop a broader framework for future discussions of authority in Evangelical, Charismatic, and Pentecostal movements. In a manner of responding to the contributions and to our collaborative endeavor in general, I focus on three aspects: First, I discuss the concept of "religious authority," second, I attend to the question of how to study religious authority empirically (methods of data collection and data analysis), and, third, I consider if and how approaches from post-humanistic literature, especially Niklas Luhmann’s and Bruno Latour’s works, could be valuable additions to classical sociological literature on authority in religious contexts. Far from offering a "conclusion" in the strict sense, this contribution shall raise new questions and spark future debate on the topic of this special issue. |
