Spirit Baptism: The Pentecostal Experience in Theological Focus: Global Pentecostal and Charismatic Studies, cartea 26

Autor David Perry
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 aug 2017
The Pentecostal experience of Spirit baptism remains an important topic of discussion more than a century after the inception of the Pentecostal movement. In Spirit Baptism: The Pentecostal Experience in Theological Focus David Perry moves beyond traditional debates by focusing on the meaning and function of the experience within the Pentecostal community.

Grounded in the Pentecostal experience itself, he explores the meaning of the experience in terms of its cognitive, effective, constitutive and communicative function. He demonstrates the enduring value of the experience of Spirit baptism to the Pentecostal community and emphasises what is centrally important – a powerful and transformative encounter with the Holy Spirit.

Recenzii

"In many ways, this should be a welcome addition to the debate on Spirit Baptism among Pentecostals. Methodologically, it brings something new to the discussion. It avoids the biblical-exegetical approach which is a well-trodden path often comprising quotations and counter-quotations on the various points. It also consciously tries to avoid the common points of contention, such as sequentialism and initial evidence. In this sense, this is a breath of fresh air to the debate on the issue of Spirit Baptism."
Chigor Chike, University of Roehampton, PentecoStudies 18.1 (2019), pp. 117–118.

"C’est ce à quoi sont consacrés les chapitres suivants, fondés sur la réflexion de Lonergan, qui cherchent à expliquer la signification du baptême dans l’Esprit pentecôtiste selon les quatre dimensions du sens dégagées par le théologien canadien : cognitive, efficiente, constitutive et communicative."
Istina 2019/2, pp. 268-269.
