Pentecostal Theology and Jonathan Edwards Summary

Pentecostal Theology and Jonathan Edwards by Amos Yong (Fuller Theological Seminary, USA)

This volume brings 'America's theologian' and one of the fastest growing forms of Christianity into dialogue. Edwards is a fruitful source for Pentecostal investigation for historical and theological reasons. Edwards and Pentecostals descend from a common historical tradition-North American Evangelicalism. From revivalism and religious/charismatic experience to pneumatology they also share common theological interests. Though sharing a common history and core theological concerns, no critical conversation between Pentecostals and Edwards and their fields of scholarship has occurred. This is the first volume that provides Pentecostal readings of Edwards' theology that contribute to Pentecostal theology and Edwards scholarship. The contributing essays offer examination of affections and the Spirit, God and Salvation, Church and culture; and mission and witness.

Pentecostal Theology and Jonathan Edwards Reviews

An interesting and well constructed book. * Theology *
While academic Pentecostal theology, especially in North America, tends to distance itself from the alliance sealed by the movement with evangelical theology in the mid 20th century, this book has the merit to open a dialogue on other bases. * Istina (Bloomsbury Translation) *
This is a fine book, especially in its descriptions of the theologies of Edwards and the Pentecostals, and in its attempt to analyse Edwards' theological connection to the Pentecostals. * European Journal of Theology *
I enthusiastically recommend this book for anyone interested in Edwards studies but even more, for seekers of spiritual renewal wary of the theological challenges commonly hindering a vibrant and healthy Christian faith. * Journal of Pentecostal and Charismatic Christianity *
