Amos Yong (Ph.D. Boston University) is Professor of Theology and Mission and director of the Center for Missiological Research at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California. Jonathan A. Anderson is Associate Professor of Art at Biola University.
Here at last is a vibrant theological text that systematically
addresses the big intellectual challenges confronting 21st-century
Pentecostals and charismatics. Every chapter bursts with
constructive ideas, bringing biblical exposition and theological
themes to bear on the doctrinal statements that define the Churchs
long renewal. -- William K Kay, Professor of Pentecostal Studies,
University of Chester
"Yong reprioritizes the order of classic theological reasoning,
beginning with eschatology, in order to emphasize Christ-centered
and Spirit-empowered Christianity." --Don Thorsen, Professor of
Theology, Azusa Pacific University
"Amos Yong delivers a forward-looking and pneumatologically
grounded systematics of Renewal demonstrating its contribution to
the wider theological academy and the global church." --Sammy
Alfaro, Assistant Professor of Theology, Grand Canyon
University
"This remarkable book introduces and creatively reconstructs a
Pentecostal summa in sympathetic and critical dialogue with the
best of Christian heritage. No one interested in Pentecostal and
Renewal movements can ignore this work." --Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen,
Professor of Systematic Theology, Fuller Theological Seminary and
Docent of Ecumenics, University of Helsinki, Finland
"Yong's work brilliantly articulates what the world of Christian
theology is fast becoming: the dawning reality that the 'regions
beyond' have become the new center of Christianity. Renewing
Christian Theology is a twenty-first-century expression of what it
means to have 'good news for all people!'" --Byron D. Klaus,
President, Assemblies of God Theological Seminary, Springfield,
Missouri
"No doubt this book will be a landmark work in Renewal Theology and
spark a spirited conversation about the role of Pentecostal
theology in ecumenical and interreligious dialogue." --Peter C.
Phan, The Ignacio Ellacuria Chair of Catholic Social Thought,
Georgetown University
Personally, I will be using this text both to freshen up my
standard systematics course...as well as making use of it for my
Pentecostalism course. This will be a valuable resource on both
counts. -- Ben Pugh, Cliff College, England -- The Journal of the
European Pentecostal Theological Association
On the whole this is an exciting project, which offers much for the
future, as Pentecostal and charismatic theology comes to maturity.
It charts a way that many emerging theologians from these
traditions can follow, in bringing together Christian experience
and theological exploration into harmony. -- Graham Tomlin --
Evangelical Quarterly
Although the intended audience of this textbook is seminarians, the
volume will also be appreciated by scholars both in and outside the
renewalist movement, especially those interested in engaging the
best of Pentecostal thinking today. Yong offers a systematic
theology to the whole church that is as deeply Pentecostal as it is
unwaveringly ecumenical. -- Cheryl Peterson -- Anglican Theological
