Some writers point to Kipling's history of satirical writing, and propose that The White Man's Burden is in fact a sly work of satire that undermines imperial aspirations. Chris Snodgrass, in A Companion to Victorian Poetry (Blackwell, Oxford, 2002), describes Kipling's poetry as problematising "imperial sensibilities with wry irony and scepticism, viewing all human endeavour as ultimately transitory." Alzina Stone Dale (in Outline of Sanity, iUniverse, 2005) recognises that the poem has been used to encourage pow ...

Theologically, most Pentecostal denominations are aligned with Evangelicalism in that they emphasize the reliability of the Bible and the need for conversion to faith in Jesus. Most Pentecostals also adhere to the doctrine of Biblical inerrancy. Pentecostals differ from Fundamentalists by placing more emphasis on personal spiritual experience. Pentecostals have a transrational worldview. Although Pentecostals are concerned with orthodoxy (correct belief), they are also concerned with orthopathy (right affections) and orthopraxy (right reflection or action). Reason is esteemed as a valid conduit of truth, but Pentecostals ...
