A Concise, One-Volume Guide to Spirit-Empowered Theology Many
Spirit-filled believers, even those intimately familiar with
Scripture, sometimes struggle to express theology in clear terms.
Charles Carrin, esteemed Spirit-empowered evangelist and scholar,
can help. In this one-volume reference, he explores the core areas
of theology--including the Bible, God, creation, sin, salvation,
church, last things--from a Spirit-empowered viewpoint. He also
specifically addresses key topics for charismatic and Pentecostal
believers, including * baptism of the Holy Spirit * functions of
the spiritual gifts, including the controversial gift of tongues *
healing and deliverance ministry * angels, demons, and the
supernatural miracles of God * God's plan for Israel This
comprehensive work by a respected Spirit-filled pastor will help
you grow in understanding about what you believe--and confidence
about why.
Sociologist Jeffrey Guhin spent a year and a half embedded in four
high schools in the New York City area - two of them Sunni Muslim
and two Evangelical Christian. At first pass, these communities do
not seem to have much in common. But under closer inspection Guhin
finds several common threads: each school community holds to a
conservative approach to gender and sexuality, a hostility towards
the theory of evolution, and a deep suspicion of secularism. All
possess a double-sided image of America, on the one hand as a place
where their children can excel and prosper, and on the other hand
as a land of temptations that could lead their children astray. He
shows how these school communities use boundaries of politics,
gender, and sexuality to distinguish themselves from the secular
world, both in school and online. Guhin develops his study of
boundaries in the book's first half to show how the school
communities teach their children who they are not; the book's
second half shows how the communities use "external authorities" to
teach their children who they are. These "external authorities" -
such as Science, Scripture, and Prayer - are experienced by
community members as real powers with the ability to issue commands
and coerce action. By offloading agency to these external
authorities, leaders in these schools are able to maintain a
commitment to religious freedom while simultaneously reproducing
their moral commitments in their students. Drawing on extensive
classroom observation, community participation, and 143 formal
interviews with students, teachers, and staff, this book makes an
original contribution to sociology, religious studies, and
education.
