A Dramatic Pentecostal/Charismatic Anti-Theodicy
Theology
“Stephen Torr has provided an insightful account of how those working from within the Pentecostal and charismatic traditions might approach the problem of evil and suffering. His position, especially his advocacy of the genre of lament within a theo-dramatic approach, deserves to be widely read. It makes an original contribution to theological scholarship and assists the church in its pastoral practice.”
An Ordinary Mission of God Theology
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Dr. Hardy is to be congratulated for tackling the vitally important subject of mission theology with sensitivity and insight. Using original empirical data, his study provides a corrective to idealized mission theology and advances the academic conversation in ordinary theology. I commend it most warmly to students, church leaders, and scholars.”
History & Biography
“This book is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of American and British revivals. Written in a lucid style, this account makes the various stories come alive to the reader. Importantly, insights from these revivals have implications for the life of the contemporary church. I commend this book most warmly.”
Theology
“This edited collection of essays is a very welcome addition to the emerging literature on ecotheology from pentecostal scholars. They provide original contributions full of insight and wisdom from historical, theological, and contemporary studies. They also challenge theologians both inside and outside of Pentecostalism to bring ecology and theology into deeper and more sustained conversation. Swoboda should be congratulated for editing such a lively and interesting set of essays that will become a reference point for scholars and students of pentecostal ecotheology.”
Theology
“In writing this book, Dr. Collins has made a significant contribution to charismatic theology. It brings Luke’s narrative of Pentecost into conversation with Paul’s discussion of the charismata, key doctrinal themes, and the contemporary practices of the church. There is an honest assessment of the gifts and fruit of the Holy Spirit, which leads to a fresh articulation of the charismatic tradition in the life of the church. Scholars, students, and regular church members will find much to inform their minds, warm their hearts, and shape their ecclesial practices. I commend this study and look forward to using it in my own class on the person and work of the Holy Spirit.”

How to Make Big Decisions Wisely
Christian Living
“We all make big decisions from time to time, but how to do so wisely and in a way that fits with one’s Christian vocation is an important issue. Alan Ehler’s timely and insightful book provides a model for assisting Christians in their decision-making, both personally and professionally. It is rooted in Scripture and informed by science, making it a unique resource. I commend it most warmly to anyone who wants to know more about this important subject from a Christian perspective.”
How to Worship for All Its Worth
Preaching & Worship
“Steven Félix-Jäger has managed to combine an impressive range of perspectives with his own analysis of different traditions and their practices. His application of biblical, aesthetic, theological, and pastoral lenses to interpret and evaluate worshiping life is fresh and illuminating. Students, pastors, and worship leaders will want to spend time digesting the rich insights contained in this book and return to them again and again. It is highly recommended!”
Professor.
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Ryan Morgan has conducted a very brave piece of research with the full support of his church denomination. The topic is a sensitive one around the use of power within the church and the potential for abuse among its clergy. It is a fascinating study that deserves to be read by all church leaders, especially those who have senior oversight roles.”
Theology
“Alistair Cuthbert has provided a creative and constructive account of spiritual warfare, critically drawing upon the British Baptist theologian, Paul S. Fiddes. Cuthbert seeks to advance the discussion in a unique manner and his contribution deserves to be read widely and discussed in detail. It is an important contribution to the discussion from the perspective of systematic theology.”
Theology
“The so-called prosperity gospel is deeply problematic and it has attracted significant criticism. Rarely does an author go behind this popular-level theology to explore the impulses that drive it, but this is exactly what Dr. Suh does. This provocative study will change the way we view the prosperity gospel, especially its resonance with aspects of liberation theology; therefore, it should be read widely by scholars and students interested in Pentecostal, Evangelical, and Liberationist expressions of Christianity. I commend it most warmly.”
Theology
“Florian Simatupang has written a significant account of eucharistic theology that is truly Pentecostal and ecumenical. Drawing on a ‘search-encounter-transformation’ (SET) model of Pentecostal spirituality, he illuminates and expands eucharistic theology not just for Pentecostals but for different Christian traditions. In this book he interrogates several traditions, re-reads the relevant biblical texts, and constructs an original account that is inspiring and compelling. This book is a gift to the universal church and to Christian scholarship. It demonstrates the creativity and thoughtfulness of a new generation of Pentecostal theologians. Buy it, read it, share it, and discuss it with your friends, students, and colleagues! It deserves to be received widely and engaged deeply.”
Theology
“Ken Archer builds upon his previous work in theology and hermeneutics to make a significant contribution to scholarship. In this text he offers a number of essays that push the boundaries of thinking in Pentecostal theology. This is a distinctive theology written from within the Wesleyan Pentecostal tradition, yet from its particularity it offers important insights into universal theological concerns. No serious scholar or student of Pentecostalism can avoid engaging with this book.”
The Spirit and the Salvation of the Urban Poor
Theology
“This book is a landmark study that engages the issue of urban poverty in America from the perspective of pneumatology and Renewal theology. Dr. Kertson expertly navigates his way through the terrain of American social theology illustrated with reference to social gospel, liberationist, evangelical, and ecumenical perspectives. In critical conversation with these approaches, he advances a biblically informed approach to social action using the resources of the Pentecostal and Charismatic (Renewal) traditions. It is a very timely book that deserves to be read widely by students, scholars, and church leaders across the range of ecclesial traditions.”
Theology
“Churchouse’s book provides a significant contribution to the discussion of the human constitution in Pentecostal theology. It challenges ‘emergent monism’ and provides a renewed dualist position. The thesis of the book is that the human constitution should be regarded in terms of ‘Enspiritable Holistic Dualism.’ Churchouse brings an important voice to the conversation that has the potential to change it completely. I commend this book to scholars and students alike.”
Theology
“In this fascinating study, Andy Lord takes a charismatic approach to receptive ecumenism and brings two representative figures (David Watson and Thomas Merton) into creative dialogue. It provides a model of engagement that sets an agenda for further enquiry. As such, it is essential reading for students and scholars of contemporary Christian ecumenism as well as pentecostal and charismatic studies.”
Theology
“This is an excellent book written in a lucid and lively manner. It makes an important and original contribution to Trinitarian theology from the perspective of Pentecost. . . . It is a must-read for all students and scholars of contemporary pentecostal and charismatic theology.”
Women
“This important study listens to data gathered from women in a major Pentecostal denomination and gives expression to their beliefs and experiences in ministry. It contains many insights as well as some surprises. Significantly, it identifies a research agenda that has implications beyond Pentecostalism and the church in North America. As such, it deserves to be read widely, and its findings considered carefully by those in church leadership.”
