Spirit and Sacrament by Andrew Wilson
In this short, vibrant book, Andrew Wilson casts a vision for what might be called an old type of new church, a church that combines the best of both charismatic practice and liturgy.
Drawing from the richness of the Pentecostal-charismatic and sacramental streams, Andrew Wilson offers a theologically rich and pastorally wise way of holding the best of both worlds togetherBest of all, he helps us find both grace and joy at the core. This is the book we’ve been waiting for. It is clear and compelling, thoughtful and pastoral. I kept thinking as I read it, “Yes! That’s who we are! That’s what we do!” * Glenn Packiam, associate senior pastor of New Life Church, author of Blessed Broken Given and Discover the Mystery of Faith *
I can’t think of anyone more qualified to address this challenging topic than Andrew Wilson. He writes on the convergent themes of spirit and sacrament with remarkable clarity and precision. As a fellow continuationist, I found his treatment of spiritual gifts altogether persuasive. As one who is less inclined sacramentally/ liturgically, I was challenged and stirred to think more deeply about the relationship between these two aspects of Christian and local church life. Regardless of where you land on these twin topics, no one can afford to ignore Andrew’s pointed and thoroughly biblical treatment of them. * Sam Storms, Bridgeway Church, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma *
This is the book I’ve been waiting for! Spirit and Sacrament dismantles dichotomies that pit the good gifts of God against each other and invites us instead to feast on the whole enchilada Jesus has prepared for us---through worship that is (I love Andrew’s new term here) “eucharismatic”: integrating both liturgy and levity, deep roots and ecstatic experience, formative practice and fresh divine power. For what holds both Eucharist and charisma together is, at their center, God’s charis: grace. * Joshua Ryan Butler, pastor of Redemption Church—Tempe, author of The Skeletons in God’s Closet and The Pursuing God *
