Publisher's Description
The Glory and the Shame is a comprehensive portrayal of the worldwide twentieth-century charismatic movement in all its complexity. It is the work of a scholar who has experienced most of what he writes, and sets the work of the Holy Spirit in the context of Christian unity and the second coming. Peter Hocken's overview is exciting, demanding, fearless: God's surprises are emphasized; the link between Pentecost and the Second Coming is dominant; the pivotal role of Israel is brought sharply into focus; the responsibilities of the worldwide contemporary church are highlighted.
