Research on Pentecostal and Charismatic Christianity has increased
dramatically in recent decades, and a diverse array of disciplines
have begun to address a range of elements of these movements. Yet,
there exists very little understanding of Pentecostal theology, and
it is not uncommon to encounter stereotypes and misperceptions.
Addressing this gap in current research, The Routledge Handbook of
Pentecostal Theology is an exceptional reference source to the key
topics, challenges, and debates in this growing field of study and
is the first collection of its kind to offer a comprehensive
presentation and critical discussion of this subject. Comprising
over forty chapters written by a team of international
contributors, the Handbook is divided into five parts:
Contextualizing Pentecostal Theology Sources Theological Method
Doctrines and Practices Conversations and Challenges. These
sections take the reader through a comprehensive introduction to
what Pentecostals believe and how they practice their faith.
Looking at issues such as the core teachings of Pentecostalism
concerning Spirit baptism, divine healing, or eschatology; unique
practices, such as spiritual warfare and worship; and less
discussed issues, such as social justice and gender, each chapter
builds towards a nuanced and global picture of the theology of the
Pentecostal movement. The Routledge Handbook of Pentecostal
Theology is essential reading for students and researchers in
Pentecostal Studies, World Christianity, and Theology as well as
scholars working in contemporary Religious Studies.

In The Pastor, Eugene H. Peterson, the translator of the
multimillion-selling The Message and the author of more than thirty
books, offers his life story as one answer to the surprisingly
neglected question: What does it mean to be a pastor?
When Peterson was asked by his denomination to begin a new
church in Bel Air, Maryland, he surprised himself by saying yes.
And so was born Christ Our King Presbyterian Church. But Peterson
quickly learned that he was not exactly sure what a pastor should
do. He had met many ministers in his life, from his Pentecostal
upbringing in Montana to his seminary days in New York, and he
admired only a few. He knew that the job's demands would drown him
unless he figured out what the essence of the job really was. Thus
began a thirty-year journey into the heart of this uncommon
vocation--the pastorate.
The Pastor steers away from abstractions, offering instead a
beautiful rendering of a life tied to the physical world--the land,
the holy space, the people--shaping Peterson's pastoral vocation as
well as his faith. He takes on church marketing, mega pastors, and
the church's too-cozy relationship to American glitz and
consumerism to present a simple, faith-filled job description of
what being a pastor means today. In the end, Peterson discovered
that being a pastor boiled down to "paying attention and calling
attention to 'what is going on right now' between men and women,
with each other and with God." The Pastor is destined to become a
classic statement on the contemporary trials, joys, and meaning of
this ancient vocation.
Learn to partner with the innumerable angels in the heavenly realms!
The Holy Spirit spoke a powerful word to Pastor Tim Sheets:
When you raise the bar, I’ll raise the anointing. When my heirs raise
the bar, I’ll pour out a new Pentecost greater than the outpouring in
the book of Acts.
The Bible says that all Christians have been brought into a heavenly
dimension because of Jesus’ blood. Being born again doesn’t simply
secure your place in Heaven; it makes Heaven accessible right here,
right now. This heavenly access includes “innumerable angels!” (See
Hebrews 12:22.)
Dr. Tim Sheets is a bestselling author, apostolic leader, and biblical
authority who teaches everyday believers how to engage God’s army of
angels. In this dynamic new book, Sheets helps you recognize different
categories and ranks of angels, and the vital roles they play in your
daily life.
In Angel Armies on Assignment, Tim Sheets helps you…
- Identify different orders, categories, and ranks of angelic
beings.
- Recognize the supernatural roles that each kind of angel
plays.
- Discover the purposes of God by discerning the different
kinds of angelic activity.
- Flow with the Holy Spirit’s movement as you partner with
His angel armies.
- Operate in alignment with God’s “supernatural standard.”
When you learn how God’s angels operate, you can partner with them to
release Heaven’s plans and purposes over your life!
In Azusa Street Mission and Revival, Cecil M. Robeck, Jr. brings to
bear expertise from decades of focused study in church history to
reveal the captivating story of the Apostolic Faith Mission in Los
Angeles, which became known as the Azusa Street Mission. From
humble beginnings with few resources, this small uniquely diverse
and inclusive congregation led by William J. Seymour ignited a fire
that quickly grew into a blaze and spread across the world giving
rise to the global Pentecostal movement. Sifting through newspaper
reports and other written accounts of the time as well as the
mission's own publications, and through personal interaction with
some of those blessed to stand very near to the fire that began at
the mission, Cecil M. Robeck, Jr. relates not only the historical
significance of the revival but also captures the movement of the
Holy Spirit that changed the face of modern Christianity.
Pentecostalism is one of the most dynamic forces in
twentieth-century Christianity. From fast-growing denominations
such as the Assemblies of God to popular television ministries such
as "The 700 Club," the fruits of Pentecostalism can be seen
throughout modern Christian life.
In this landmark study, Donald Dayton explains how Pentecostalism
grew out of Methodism and the nineteenth-century holiness revivals.
He finds evidence of Wesleyan teaching in the classic writings of
many Pentecostal leaders. He shows how Pentecostalism is rooted in
the Wesleyan theological tradition, rather than being a contrived
system of modern revivalistic ides. Martin E. Marty says in his
foreword that Pentecostals "have no choice, it is clear from this
book, but to see that there were . . . roots to the growth they
reaped." He calls "Theological Roots of Pentecostalism" "a very
important statement . . . one without which subsequent commentators
on Pentecostalism are not likely to give intelligent accounts."

Fire blazes from heaven, and a stone altar erupts in flame. So
begins a spiritual awakening, the kindling of a revival fire still
burning today. Beginning with Elijah and God's tremendous one-day
revival of Israel, Wesley Duewel tells stories of revivals spanning
the globe from America to China to Africa, all brought by obedience
and heartfelt prayer. He illustrates how God has used revival fire
through the centuries to revive the church and reveal the glorious
presence of the Holy Spirit.
This important book shows believers that their healing is an
accomplished fact and how they can possess the promise of healing.
This book teaches believers the art of scriptural prayer and gives
clear insight from the Word of God on the subject of intercession
and supplication.
The spiritual exercise of making decrees finds its precedent in
both Old and New Testaments--the practice means simply quoting
God's promises back to him, "reminding" him of what he has said.
This kind of prayer is one of the most vital forms of intercession.
In fact, the practice of decreeing God's Word not only builds our
faith but transforms our lives. In this powerful and enlightening
book, bestselling author and entrepreneur Patricia King helps
readers grasp the power of inspired and finely tuned prayer. King
explains how to * find specific texts of Scripture for your need *
counter problems with God's Word * speak truth into reality *
understand the difference between confessing the Word, proclaiming
the Word, and decreeing the Word * and more Join countless
believers who love the Word of God and honor its authority through
their prayers. Accept the challenge to pray the words of Scripture
boldly--in God's timing, for his will and purposes.
Scripting Pentecost explores and develops an analysis of worship
and liturgy in Pentecostal and Charismatic traditions around the
world. It is organized into two main sections: history and
theology, and global case studies. The first section considers
early Pentecostal traditions, the influence of the Welsh revival,
classical Pentecostalism, the Charismatic Renewal movement and
subsequent practices up to the present day. It also provides
contemporary constructive theological reflections on sung worship,
sacramental theology and liturgical practices. The second section
offers a selection of global case studies from America, Europe,
Kenya, Myanmar, Venezuela and Papua New Guinea. These case studies
focus on contemporary worship and liturgical practices and their
significance for Pentecostal and Charismatic studies..
Mike Bickle has known both the exhilaration and the confusion
caused by ministry focused on the exercise of spiritual gifts. As a
young pastor not personally inclined toward prophecy, he was taken
by surprise by the upsurge of the gift in his own church. Feeling
almost ambushed by God, he looked for help and advice, but with
little success. Thus began an often painful journey away from
"prophetic chaos" toward a clearer understanding of God's order. It
is out of this experience he now writes for all those who are
interested in seeing prophetic ministry developed in the church
today.
We have only scratched the surface of what God’s grace means!
Perhaps no other truth has experienced more controversy and counterfeit
than the grace of God. The word “grace” is frequently used in the
Christian community to speak of our undeserved salvation or an extra
dose of spiritual strength.
But there is so much more to the grace of God. Indeed, we have only
scratched the surface of the ocean that is the supernatural power of
God’s grace!
In this landmark book, Phill Urena reveals that grace is, in fact, the
most powerful force in the universe! But to access this supernatural
power, we must understand its true meaning and learn how to apply it.
Phill Urena has experienced miracle after miracle—even the dead being
raised—by learning how to access the life-giving flow of God’s grace.
In Redefining Grace, you will learn how to:
- Partner with God to manifest His character and power.
- Walk in freedom from religious bondage and failure.
- Operate in the miraculous dimension of grace, releasing
healing, deliverance, and miracles.
- Enjoy a deeper more intimate relationship with the Holy
Spirit.
- Stop believing you are a “sinner” and start living like a
“saint.”
Remove the shackles of guilt, shame, and religion! It’s time you
discovered the abundant life that Jesus promised by encountering the
fullness of God’s grace!
