The relationships between the Devil and disease, sickness and sin,
healing and forgiveness, and exorcism and deliverance form an
intriguing and controversial set of issues. This monograph brings
some clarity to the topic by offering the first full-length
examination of the origins of illness in New Testament thought. In
an attempt to respect the diversity of thought within the New
Testament, the author employs a method that allows the distinctive
contributions of each New Testament writer to be appreciated on
their own terms. These readings are followed by an attempt at the
construction of a New Testament theology of the Devil, disease, and
deliverance where the distinctive New Testament voices on this
topic are heard in relation to one another. The monograph concludes
with a chapter devoted to the implications of this study for
Pentecostal theology and ministry.
This monograph is based upon presentations given at a conference on
Pentecostal Ecclesiology that convened on 28-29 June 2010 at Bangor
University in North Wales, UK. After a short introduction (John
Christopher Thomas) and an extended treatment of the role of the
Fivefold Gospel in the doing of Pentecostal Theology (Kenneth J.
Archer), two chapters each are devoted to the Pentecostal Church as
Redeemed Community (Wynand de Kock, Dario Andres Lopez Rodriguez),
Sanctified Community (Daniel Castelo, Matthias Wenk), Empowered
Community (Simon Chan, Daniela Augustine), Healing Community
(Kimberly E. Alexander, Opoku Onyinah), and Eschatological
Community (Peter Althouse, Frank D. Macchia), with three formal
responses following (Veli-Matti Karkkainen, Robert Pope, William K.
Kay). Global in composition, the contributors to this volume
represent six continents and diversity of gender, race,
nationality, denominational affiliation, and academic discipline.
Their creative theological presentations and the constructive
engagements that they elicit not only make a significant
contribution to this topic, but also provide a model for future
global Pentecostal theological construction. This ground-breaking
monograph is destined to shape future discussions of Pentecostal
Ecclesiology as well as the broader field of Pentecostal Theology.

The book of Revelation is perhaps the most theologically complex
and literarily sophisticated text in the New Testament. In this
commentary John Christopher Thomas and Frank Macchia make the
brilliant but challenging text of Revelation more accessible and
easier to understand on its own terms, rather than as a futuristic
prophecy. In addition to their literary, exegetical, and
theological analysis of the text, Thomas and Macchia offer
sustained theological essays on the book's most significant themes
and issues, accenting especially the underappreciated place of the
Holy Spirit in the theology of the book. Uniquely, Thomas and
Macchia work to locate and help readers better understand the
original audiences to whom Revelation was written by examining
Revelation's storyline and its connection to the broader Johannine
community.
