The times have long passed when Pentecostals were viewed as
Protestantism's untouchables. Today, the shock waves from Azusa
Street have influenced countless evangelicals worldwide. But if
dialogue between Pentecostals and evangelicals has awakened within
the latter a thirst for the power of God's Spirit, it has
challenged Pentecostals to examine their theology more deeply in
the light of His Word. Just how firm is the biblical foundation on
which they stand?
"Spirit and Power" provides a cutting-edge look at Pentecostal
theology. It addresses the concern expressed by its authors and
echoed throughout charismatic churches today: "Although our
Pentecostal forefathers intuitively grasped the correlation between
the reality they experienced and the promise of Acts 1: 8, they did
not always articulate their theology in a manner that was
convincing to other believers committed to the authority of
Scripture."
In response, theologians William and Robert Menzies explore
Pentecostalism in a scholarly and current light. "Spirit and Power"
is no mere paraphrase of dated approaches. It is a fresh and
penetrating look at the whys and wherefores of Pentecostal doctrine
that sets a new standard for Spirit-filled theology. Whatever your
persuasion may be as a Christian, this book's thoughtfulness,
balance, and biblical integrity will help you appreciate more fully
the strengths of the Pentecostal stance.
Laying the groundwork for an accurate understanding of Luke's
writings in particular, the authors help you grasp the foundations
of Pentecostal theology from the standpoints of history,
hermeneutics, and exegesis. Then, in Part Two, they give you an
in-depth look at specific Pentecostalconcerns: the baptism of the
Holy Spirit as a blessing subsequent to salvation, evidential
tongues, signs and wonders, healing in the atonement, and more.
You'll deepen your understanding of the basis for Pentecostal
beliefs. You'll gain a feel for the mutually beneficial dialogue
that continues between Pentecostals and evangelicals today.
