Abstract
This lecture addresses the pneumatology of E. Stanley Jones in
conversation with Mortimer Arias' theology of the kingdom of God. Jones was an advocate of what is known today in Latin America as mission integral. Integral mission seeks to restore every dimension of human life by requiring from Christians to be completely involved in the historical moment by the concrete demonstration of the power of the gospel in everyday life. Later, this illlderstanding of mission was used in Bolivia to propagate the gospel illldera brutal right-wing military regime by Bishop Mortimer Allas. Therefore, the kingdom of God as used by Jones and Arias was an encompassing eschatological reality that should be manifested in the present order by the power of the Holy Spirit in the lives of Christians.
