Systematic Theology: A Pentecostal Perspective

this is a book that must be added to any preachers library so that they may have a clear systematic understanding of biblical theology in pentecostal faith before we preach it.

This book is recommended to all Christians who seek to learn more about the essentials of conservative Pentecostal systematic theology. Contrary to many people, traditional Pentecostals are not unscholarly emotionalists who lack knowledge in theology. Actually, one will find this book very scholarly. The book is comprised of essays from various Pentecostal scholars on the traditional themes of systematic theology (starting from Prolegomena to the Last Things). The book is a very balanced presentation of conservative Pentecostalism. As a Calvinist and cessationist I thought I would throw the book away after reading the first few chapters. However, I found myself reading more and more and getting a good understanding of what Pentecostals believe. One will not find a "hokey" Word of Faith type theology in this book. In fact, the authors try to distance themselves from this movement; making a clear distinction between traditional Pentecostalism and man-glorifying unorthodox "health-wealth" Charismatism. Many will find this book useful for lay Bible studies and personal devotion. The book is not only scholarly, but also practical. The book is also easy to read and fun.

This work is edited by Dr. Stanley Horton and is written by various Assemblies of God pastors and theologians. The book is the best systematic theology I have ever seen put out by any Pentecostal church. The book covers the 16 fundamental truths of the Assemblies of God.... It deals with every major evangelical teaching but differs, of course, with mainline chuches on the Assemblies of God teaching on the Baptism in the Holy Spirit and the Initial, Physical Evidence of Speaking in Tongues.If you are an avid reader of theology or you simply want to learn more about what Pentecostals believe and teach than I would encourage you to get this book. It is well worth the money. I have purchased two of them and lent out both of them.

very powerful helping sourse, recomen to read for every christian
