Publisher's summary

For some people “Pentecostal” is a new word. Although it has become much more common in recent years, its roots go back to an ancient Jewish feast and, more recently, to the first outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the earliest Christian believers. Because this initial outpouring of the Spirit took place on the Day of Pentecost, those who experience a similar infilling of the Spirit are known as Pentecostals. They look to the book of Acts as a guide for how to live out their Christian faith. Many of the key players in Acts were eyewitnesses of the life and teachings of Jesus, and it follows that they would have the clearest insight into the way in which to worship Jesus. Take a few moments of your time and learn what it means to be Pentecostal.

Intro for Anybody

This is as good an introduction to Pentecostal basics as I have heard. It covers theology, practice, and history in a concise and understandable way. The last chapter does a particularly good job of illustrating the power and effect of the Pentecostal experience in the lives of a diverse group of people. This would be a good read for those seeking a readable intro to the subject or a review for those who are trying to synthesize their already extant Pentecostal faith. Lastly, I was impressed at the book’s ability to set forth Oneness claims without being obnoxious towards other faiths. David Bernard provides a good example of balancing one’s own exclusive truth claims with respect to those who don’t agree with him. A bit of Tim Keller in him.
