The times have long passed when Pentecostals were viewed as Protestantism’s untouchables. Today; the shock waves from Azusa Street have influenced countless Evangelicals worldwide. But if dialogue between Pentecostals and Evangelicals has awakened within the latter a thirst for the power of God’s Spirit; it has challenged Pentecostals to examine their theology more deeply in the light of his Word. Just how firm is the biblical foundation on which they stand? Spirit and Power provides a cutting-edge look at Pentecostal theology. It addresses the concern expressed by its authors and echoed throughout charismatic churches today: “Although our Pentecostal forefathers intuitively grasped the correlation between the reality they experienced and the promise of Acts 1:8; they did not always articulate their theology in a manner that was convincing to other believers committed to the authority of Scripture.†In response; theologians William and Robert Menzies explore Pentecostalism in a scholarly and current light. Spirit and Power is no mere paraphrase of dated approaches. It is a fresh and penetrating look at the whys and wherefores of Pentecostal doctrine that sets a new standard for Spirit-filled theology. Whatever your persuasion may be as a Christian; this book’s thoughtfulness; balance; and biblical integrity will help you appreciate more fully the strengths of the Pentecostal stance. Laying the groundwork for an accurate understanding of Luke’s writings in particular; the authors help you grasp the foundations of Pentecostal theology from the standpoints of history; hermeneutics; and exegesis. Then; in Part Two; they give you an in-depth look at specific Pentecostal concerns: the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a blessing subsequent to salvation; evidential tongues; signs and wonders; healing in the atonement; and more. You’ll deepen your understanding of the basis for Pentecostal beliefs. And you’ll gain a feel for the mutually beneficial dialogue that continues between Pentecostals and Evangelicals today.

It is hilarious and more than a few times I had to put down my Kindle for fear that my laughing hysterically would cause me to drop it; break it; and make me sad all of the sudden.The only itch is that it could have been longer; but I suppose that's a compliment as well. The 'behind the scenes' stories were hilarious. We all knew that Greg Oden was a great guy; this confirmed it (other than one incident later in life); we perhaps didn't know much about Evan Turner other than his decent NBA career; but he comes off as interesting guy; with a startling sense of perspective at times. Mark Titus is a jokester; someone who was aware of his limitations as a player; and thus moved along accordingly. He was the peanut gallery; and I don't know that a book like this told from Turner's perspective as a 'star' would be as effective.Is this another The Breaks of the Game? Of course not; it never tries to be. It gives you a time (2006-10); a place (Columbus; Ohio for the most part); and setting (hoops; because if Titus had a personal life while he was in Columbus; well he rarely touches on it here). Good enough for me. If you want more of his writing; he's become one of Bill Simmons' crew of loyalists; and has worked with him at Grantland and The Ringer.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Would not recommend for grown-ups.By NancHeard about this from my son; and being a huge sports fan thought it might be a fun read. Not so much for me... parts were informative; and a few were humorous to me; but mostly just felt juvenile to me.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
