Winner of the Pneuma Book Award 2018, from The Society for
Pentecostal Studies. Pentecostalism is the most rapidly growing
branch of Christianity since the 20th century, yet it does not lend
itself well to a singular doctrine and there is, therefore, no
single comprehensive account of Pentecostal theology worldwide. In
this volume, Wolfgang Vondey suggests an account of Pentecostal
theology that is genuine to Pentecostals worldwide while allowing
for different adaptation and explication among the various
Pentecostal groups. He argues that Pentecostal theology is
fundamentally concerned with the renewal of the Christian life
identified by the transforming work of the Holy Spirit and directed
toward the kingdom of God. The book unfolds in two main parts
illustrating the full gospel story and theology. Eleven chapters
identify the spiritual underpinnings and motivations for
Pentecostal theology, formulate a Pentecostal theology of action,
translate, apply, and exemplify Pentecostal practices and
experiences, and integrate Pentecostal theology in the wider
Christian tradition.
War on the Saints is Jessie Penn-Lewis's masterwork, wherein she
outlines the occurrences of Satan within the Christian world, and
the eternal battle between good and evil. The book aims to prepare
and assist Christians who are caught unguarded against the
onslaught of evil and deception which has ensued for thousands of
years. In so doing, the reader will - assuming they heed the advice
upon these pages - be better equipped versus the various obstacles,
trickery and evils that Satan and his ilk will hurl in the path of
the righteous. Penn-Lewis firmly believed that the devil was a
master manipulator, with a keen knowledge of when and who to target
in his schemes. Several of the chapters within this book detail the
different techniques employed by Satan, and how to guard against
them. Quotations of Scripture abound, boosting the author's
authority and lending much credence to her arguments.
