Abstract

[Renewing America’s domestic fiscal and educational condition participates in the Spirit of Pentecost. It is a matter of discipleship. This chapter revisits America’s fiscal and educational decline and argues that the Spirit of Pentecost calls Christians to engage in their renewal. Although Pentecostal rhetoric is often otherworldly, Pentecostal praxis and experience of the Spirit is material. The call for fiscal justice and renewing public education falls in this trajectory of Pentecostal praxis. The Spirit of God breathed life into human beings so that they could build cities in this world. Carrying on the work of creation and embodying the Spirit-breathed image of God, in contemporary American society requires education and professional skills and fiscal freedom for our children and the generations to come.]
