"Clear, theologically focused guidance on Pentecostals and Pentecostalism. At just over a century old, the Pentecostal movement looms large in the global Christian landscape, with adherents and influence across multiple cultures and contexts. Still, confusion abounds over what Pentecostals believe and teach about the Holy Spirit, worship, salvation, healing, and much more. In 40 Questions about Pentecostalism, Jonathan Black gives an appreciative yet realistic look at the historical, theological, biblical, and experiential factors that make Pentecostalism a vibrant and worldwide Christian movement. He answers questions such as these: How did Pentecostalism begin? How are Charismatics different from Pentecostals? What did Jesus accomplish at the cross according to Pentecostals? What is the Pentecostal doctrine of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit? What do Pentecostals believe about healing? What ministries has Christ placed in his church according to Pentecostal theology? How do Pentecostals understand water baptism? The thematic organization of 40 Questions about Pentecostalism provides valuable insight into the issues that matter most in understanding Pentecostalism. And as with all the 40 Questions books, the question-and-answer format offers readers targeted guidance on the questions that matter most to them.
