A Pentecostal Commentary on Romans

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Glen Menzies gives readers three gifts in this commentary: an original translation of Paul’s epistle, a careful exposition of each passage, and thoughtful excurses on topics related to the letter, Pauline theology, and contemporary readers, especially Pentecostals. Menzies moves easily between text, interpretive history, and contemporary debates, offering well-informed judgments in a readable style. As Romans was Paul’s magnum opus, so Menzies’s commentary may well be the capstone of his fruitful scholarly ministry.”

Aspects of Assemblies of God Origins

History & Biography

“History is, paradoxically, unalterable and in constant need of revision. The past does not change, after all, but we can change our understanding of it based on new facts or better interpretive frameworks. Daniel Isgrigg carefully examines stories (and myths) of Assemblies of God origins in this book, providing the kind of revision Assemblies of God history needs today.”

Christ-Centered

Theology

“Pentecostals are often described as ‘people of the Spirit’ because of our theology and practice of Spirit baptism. But baptism in the Holy Spirit itself is a ministry of Jesus. We are Spirit people, then, because we are Jesus people first. In this book, Robert P. Menzies argues that Pentecostalism’s Christ-centered, Spirit-empowered perspective is rooted in evangelical soil, and he asks whether Pentecostals will continue reaping a gospel harvest if we try to plant on other theological grounds.”

Low Anthropology

Christian Living

“I encourage you to read David Zahl’s Low Anthropology for yourself. Better yet, read it with others. It is a wise, witty, and well-written book.”

Pentecostals and Nonviolence

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Pentecostals and Nonviolence documents . . . and charts a way forward for pentecostal pacifism. One need not be a pacifist (I'm not) or agree with every statement in this book (I don't) to recognize the important challenge it poses to Pentecostals' all-too-easy affirmation of our nation's wars.”

The Christian Husband’s Handbook
