Author Description

The Pentecostal Movement, or Charismatic Renewal, has caused so much comment, pro and con, that finding an objective view of this important phenomenon is nearly impossible. Here four writers deal in sympathetic but penetrating fashion with every aspect of the Charismatic Renewal. An encounter with Pentecostal theology should lead traditional Churches to make "a critical examination of their own tradition. The authors judge Pentecostalism not simply on its own evidence, but on what it is likely to contribute in the long run for the whole of God's people.
