Theology
“A singular book on the Spirit combining an excellent knowledge of tradition and contemporary literature with imagination and theological creativity. It leads to a suggestive but open-ended exploration of various models for experiencing and understanding the work of the Spirit.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Villafañe provides us with a worthy sequel to his ground-breaking first book, The Liberating Spirit. Speaking out of his great wealth of experience in Latino barrios and their churches, Villafañe offers a new vision and a renewed hope for urban ministries. This is obligatory reading for those who fear that the church no longer has a role to play in the shaping of our cities. It will also prove informative and enlightening for those of us who know otherwise.”
History & Biography
“An excellent overview of the first ten centuries of Christian history. Unsurpassed in its thoroughness, clarity, and organization. This belongs in the library of anyone interested in the history of Christianity.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“An excellent and far-ranging introduction to Protestant Latino ministries in the United States, combining theory with practice, demographic data with theological perspicacity, and historical background with attention to the present challenges and opportunities.”
Preaching & Worship
“Ancient liturgy comes to life in this truly reader-friendly yet scholarly book — a valuable addition to the growing number of resources that should greatly enrich Christian worship in years to come. With this as a first sample, I eagerly await the rest of the series.”
History & Biography
“Yoo’s book is a powerful, well-written, and carefully researched narrative of a tragic chapter in the history of American Christianity. Beyond that, it shows that the events of that time were so deeply connected with the capitulation of the church to American interests and values that contradict the very core of Christianity, making it not enough just to feel shame and remorse for what happened in the past. In the end, Yoo’s book is nothing less than a call for the reformation of all American Christianity.”
When the Spirit Is Your Inheritance
“This is one of the best, most illuminating and engaging of the many books I have read on Latino Pentecostalism. It is deeply appreciative and committed to Pentecostal faith and tradition, but not uncritical of it. It includes valuable comments and examples of that typical Pentecostal genre known as "testimonios." But--and this is what I find most engaging--it itself is a brilliant, lifelong, and heartfelt testimonio!”
Theology
“How are we to read and interpret the Protestant Reformation as we come to its fifth centennial? This book is necessary reading for any who attempt to answer that question. Its wide vistas of the meaning of the Reformation for the twenty-first century will challenge many preconceived notions and open new venues for thought.”
