William K. Kay

Theology

Foreword

“I take this to be an important book because it brings together ideas that, if they reach their final fruition, will alter the shape and state of the worldwide church in the twenty-first century. I cannot, of course, be sure of this, and none of us can with any certainty predict what adventures and adversities . . . will reveal themselves. . . . If the theological examination to which apostolicity has been subjected by McNair Scott is fair, and if apostolicity is indeed valid, then the twenty-first-century church is going to incorporate a reality that will eventually have an impact on its normative functioning and effectiveness.”

Bold Faith

Theology

“Comprehensive, readable, scholarly, and pertinent: Ben Pugh has written well about the history and theology of the Pentecostal and charismatic movements and given us the valuable viewpoint of a critical friend.”

Inside Alpha

Jesus before Pentecost

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Within the recognizably Pentecostal framework of the fourfold Gospel, Atkinson's marvelously lucid book examines the work of Jesus by engaging closely with the biblical text and a range of scholarly studies. The result is original and inspiring. It will benefit pastors, scholars, and students in equal measure.”

Norming the Abnormal

Theology

“Friesen's book brings together history and contemporary data to show how many modern pentecostal ministers accept the original formulations of their founding fathers and mothers. In doing so, it shows how speaking in tongues has taken on new significance, which, while still important, is not quite the same as the old significance. This is an excellent example of practical theology and has the potential to change the shape of future debates on Pentecostalism.”

Pentecostal Origins

History & Biography

“I shall be glad to recommend this book to my undergraduate and postgraduate students. Jim Robinson's painstaking scholarship and vivid narrative uncover the origins and early development of Pentecostalism in Ireland while throwing light on relevant events in Europe and North America.”

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

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This fine anthology celebrates and builds upon the work of the distinguished Canadian Pentecostal scholar, Roger Stronstad, whose ground-breaking publications inspired a fresh generation of Pentecostal theologians, many of whom are represented here. The book has been skillfully put together to provide thoughtful insights into a range of New Testament books and themes so as to become, in its own right, a coherent and valuable contribution to the field.”

The Emergence of Pentecostalism in Wales

History & Biography

“In this book Chris Palmer gives us the first detailed and wide-ranging account of the emergence of Pentecostalism in Wales at the start of the 20th century. He uncovers links that have been unknown to previous historians and shows the crucial importance of Welsh congregations not only to Wales itself but to the whole of Pentecostalism in the UK. Set against a broad social background and supported by careful research there is much here to interest the academic historian and inspire ordinary churchgoers interested in understanding their faith.”
