A Guide to Pentecostal Movements for Lutherans
Theology
“Sarah Hinlicky Wilson has written a very welcome addition to the growing body of ecumenical literature concerning Pentecostals. A Guide to Pentecostal Movements for Lutherans is highly readable, sympathetic, and honest. Wilson has engaged in theological dialogue with Classical Pentecostals, done her homework in the relevant Biblical, theological, and historical fields, and delivered an honest and compelling volume that provides answers to serious questions and stereotypes that have often kept Pentecostals and Lutherans from taking one another seriously.”
A Phenomenology of Pentecostal Leadership
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Åkerlund has provided a fascinating phenomenological study of Pentecostal leadership. He understands leadership theory, but he moves beyond it through interviews to show how Pentecostal leadership is spiritual, contextual, and developing, and he demonstrates that it is important to questions of identity and to mission.”
Theology
“I can think of no two Pentecostal scholars who are better qualified to provide a commentary on the Acts of the Apostles than Menzies and Keener. Their scholarship is impeccable, their comments discerning, and their wisdom inspiring. Pastors, students, and scholars alike will benefit from their insights. This commentary will be a very reliable resource on this important historical and theological book and is intended to help today's church understand its place in the ongoing story of Christ's church.”
Anglicans and Pentecostals in Dialogue
Theology
“This book is long overdue. In 1907, Alexander Boddy, an Anglican priest in Sunderland, England began Whitsuntide gatherings for Pentecostal leaders that regularized Pentecostal teaching around the world. In 1915, Azusa Street’s pastor, William J. Seymour, published Doctrines and Discipline and included twenty-four of the thirty-nine Anglican Articles of Religion. Since 1922, Anglicans and Pentecostals have largely lost contact with one another. I join Archbishop Justin Welby in recommending this book to all who care about the unity of the church for the sake of Christ’s mission.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Opoku Onyinah has provided us with a very thoughtful treatment of a fascinating topic. Whether or not you agree that apostles and prophets exist today in a continuing line from biblical times, you will be challenged to rethink the question. Onyinah’s . . . theological definitions and conclusions based upon the biblical text are rich, clear, and easily understood. I believe that church leaders of all kinds, as well as seminary students and informed laypeople, will benefit from this work as they think about Christian leadership.”
Divine Healing: The Holiness-Pentecostal Transition Years, 1890–1906
History & Biography
“James Robinson's second volume in a promised trilogy on divine healing in the nineteenth and early twentieth-century Holiness and Pentecostal Movements is an important addition to this field of study. . . . Robinson provides a careful and judicious analysis of the emergence, development, and uneven legacies that have resulted from the best practices and worst excesses in the divine healing claims of these vital movements.”
Theology
“Once again, Gary Tyra has delivered the goods! His long experience as a pastor and the years he has spent teaching university students have led to this significant work. He calls us to anticipate a life-transforming encounter with the triune God through the Holy Spirit.”
Theology
“What is the relationship between baptism in the Spirit, speaking in tongues, and the doctrine of initial evidence? Drawing from history as well as contemporary practice, Aaron Friesen gently but firmly challenges Pentecostals to engage seriously [the] apparent disparity between pentecostal teaching and pentecostal practice. Friesen does not leave the reader dangling, but suggests new yet faithful possibilities for refocusing how Pentecostals might better communicate these important concepts.”
Pentecostalism and Christian Unity, Volume 2
“Wolfgang Vondey's latest collection of twenty-first-century reports, the fruit of a variety of ecumenical dialogues with pentecostal participation, should go far toward informing Pentecostals of the facts. They should also alleviate pentecostal fears concerning the theological agenda of the ecumenical movement and those Pentecostals who have been called to work in it.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“One name stands out when the subject of pacifism surfaces among Pentecostals today: Paul Alexander. As this book demonstrates, many early Pentecostals took their relationship to the state seriously, but made it clear that on biblical and conscience grounds they were not willing to bear arms or participate in the killing of enemy combatants. Alexander has gathered a first-rate cast of authors to address this issue that has all but disappeared from memory.”
Protestant Spiritual Traditions, Volume Two
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“This volume offers a rare look at the various kinds of spiritualities found within the global church. Some may be close to you, while others are further afield. What this collection of approaches to spirituality demonstrates is that the quest for God and the experience of God may be found through a wide range of practices. This volume should help readers understand the essence of spirituality while demonstrating both common and different approaches to God.”
Re-Visioning African Pentecostal-Charismatic Ecclesiology in the Public Sphere
Theology
Foreword
(wrote a foreword)
History & Biography
“The communities of Taize and Grandchamp have much in common. Born from the same milieu, their leaders drew upon one another as they formed and matured as thoroughly ecumenical communities. This translation of Sr. Minke's account of the growth and development of Grandchamp, offered here by Dr. Nancy Gower, an expert on the formation and growth of Taize, brings new insight into their relationship.”
The Pentecostal Mission in Palestine
History & Biography
“Students of global events know the importance of the Middle East. Pentecostals have often been well intentioned in their support of Jewish people, based upon the promise in Genesis 12:3. Yet, their embrace of Zionism has often been naive and uncritical. Newberg outlines this Pentecostal-Zionist history, including the Arab side of this story. This important retelling challenges current Pentecostal participation in Islamophobia, human rights abuses, and a languishing peace process. It begs for a thoughtful Pentecostal response.”
The South Indian Pentecostal Movement in the Twentieth Century
History & Biography
“The study of global Pentecostalism is just beginning to take off. Michael Bergunder is one of the emerging younger scholars who are working on issues related to global Pentecostalism. This book stands in the vanguard of much-needed regional studies that are bringing new light to important facets of the Pentecostal movement that have not previously received adequate attention. . . Bergunder emphasizes the international networks that made the movement possible and argues that Pentecostalism has been a global movement from the beginning. Clearly, this book will find its way into the center of future discussions on the origins, form, and contributions of Pentecostalism to contemporary understandings of Indian Christianity.”
