摘要：The work of Dr. David (Paul) Yonggi Cho and the Yoido Full Gospel Church (YFGC) is known all over the world. Why this single congregation has been more effective in reaching Korean people than most others(if not all others) have been is due to several factors, of which the work of the Holy Spirit in this church is surely the most significant. In this article, I analyze how the context of Korea has affected the appeal of the message of Yonggi Cho, depending mostly on the eighteen books written by Cho (in English) in my possession, two visits to Korea, and working with Korean graduate students over eight years. Although Cho's books are devotional and inspirational rather than theological, I concentrate on those writings that deal with Cho's own context of Korea and attempt to draw out how his implicit theology may be regarded as "contextual." He writes mainly about his understanding of the Bible and his own experiences as a pastor, but sometimes refers to the context in which these experiences and understanding were developed. His books abound with biblical illustrations and teaching, but he develops his theology in a particular context. It is important that Pentecostals in different parts of the world realize the important role of the "freedom in the Spirit" to formulate, often unconsciously, a theology that has meaning for people in different life situations, and Cho's theology is a leading example of this. This contextual pneumatology is one of the most important features of Pentecostalism and is often overlooked
