(If you want more sources on the postmodern/charismatic fit, try Margaret Paloma and Carl Raschke. Poloma is very useful on worldview issues, too.)
Jamie Smith identifies five characteristics, the first being central.
1. Position of radical openness to God doing something differently or new
2. Resultant emphasis on continued presence, activity and ministry of the Holy Spirit including continuing revelation, prophecy and the centrality of chairmatic giftings.
3. Emphasis in physical healing and hence valuing physicality (e.g. in worship, the arts.)
4. Heart-based notion of knowing. Affective epistemology. Warning: not the same as emotionalism.
5. Not other worldly, ethical dimension.
Iwonder whether Smith is short of evidence on this last one. Huge amount of evidence that the ethical/social dimension of charismatic theology has been lacking. However, lets hope that there is a real development here.
Smith didn’t present this stuff in a superior way. Particularly helpful on this issue of God doing things differently is the story of Peter in Acts 2 and 10. I like it and need to think about it some more
