Boundless Love

Theology

“Clark Pinnock has left an indelible mark on contemporary evangelical Christianity. Andrew Ray Williams does not only provide a fair and accessible explanation of the late Clark Pinnock’s more controversial theological perspectives, but also shows why Pinnock is considered one of the more creative, constructive, and thought-provoking North American evangelical theologians of his generation.”

Legacy

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“T. Patrick Jensen writes from his years of service both to the church and to the hurting in society. His vocational calling into ministry, as a pastor and a psychiatrist, provides the raw material for this significant book on legacy. He interlaces theology, biblical exegesis, psychology, and personal pastoral experience into a beautiful tapestry that draws the reader in to discover the substance and obligation of legacy, and even more importantly, how to leave a sound godly legacy.”

Pentecostal Experience

Theology

“Finally, a sustained engagement of the most essential feature of pentecostal-charismatic spirituality: transformative encounters with God . . . Pentecostal Experience will become a standard reference for future discussions of experience in Pentecostalism, and [it will] serve as a testament to the maturation of pentecostal theology.”

Pentecostalism, Secularism, and Post Christendom

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“The North American religious landscape has been changing significantly, and, like Western Europe, is becoming secular, post-Christian, and religiously diverse. Noel's well researched, culturally engaging, and theologically informed book will be a valuable guide for ministers, leaders, and theological educators who seek to assist Pentecostalism in its endeavors to navigate an increasingly post-Christian cultural landscape. Noel serves as a seasoned native guide who believes that the best years for Pentecostal mission are now.”

Reading St. Luke’s Text and Theology: Pentecostal Voices

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This festschrift celebrates Roger Stronstad through fresh essays from seasoned scholars focusing on St. Luke’s pneumatology and also placing St. Luke in conversation with other Old Testament and New Testament books. The result is a themed smorgasbord of rich insights into pneumatology and Lukan studies. A delightful feast for those interested in Lukan studies and Pentecostal scholarship.”

Renewal Worship

Theology

“Astutely descriptive and helpfully prescriptive, Steven Félix-Jäger creatively weaves a theologically rich tapestry enabling the reader to hear and understand the distinct dynamic of renewal worship. This is a significant contribution to Pentecostal-charismatic worship and theological studies, for it reveals the very heart of the existence of renewal traditions—worship. Highly Recommended!”

The Liturgy of the Gospel

Theology

“Framed by a fresh introduction and conclusion, Vondey includes essays published over twenty-five years, exploring aspects of Pentecostal theological hermeneutics related to embodying the full gospel. He demonstrates that the nature of Pentecostal hermeneutics functions as a liturgy of the full gospel. He does this by examining the dynamic and playful liturgical hermeneutic interaction of fusion and fission within interpretive horizons, with the altar metaphor serving as a key site for the merging and dividing of hermeneutical horizons. I strongly recommend this ecumenically engaging, intellectually stimulating, and spiritually nourishing collection of essays as a significant contribution to Pentecostal theological hermeneutics.”

Theology through Community

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Carefully researched and clearly articulated, Pruitt’s monograph validates that the community in Acts functions as an active character with which the audience is to identify, thus showing how the community in Acts models the art of theological interpretation. The community is the necessary bridge for communication between the Spirit and Scripture, as well as the nexus that generates theological understanding in dialogue with the Spirit and Scripture. Pruitt’s monograph is a must read for those interested in theological hermeneutics in general and Pentecostal and Renewal hermeneutics in particular because he moves the conversation forward on how community functions in the interpretive process in significant ways.”

Three's a Crowd

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“"Jacqueline Grey's Three's a Crowd provides new insight into the dynamic realties of Hermeneutics, Old Testament and the Pentecostal reading communities. The fact that Grey is a female Pentecostal scholar specializing in the Old Testament and working outside a North American context significantly strengthens the important contribution of her meticulously researched and delightfully articulated work. Her monograph provides a fresh voice in the Pentecostal hermeneutical dialogue; this is a must read. I highly recommend it.”
