Pentecostal Spirituality: A Passion for the Kingdom (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780981965147)

In what is perhaps the most significant study of Pentecostal Theology to date, Steven Jack Land offers a constructive interpretation and issues a call for the re-vision of the Pentecostal tradition. Viewing the first ten years as the heart, not the infancy of its spirituality, Land identifies the theological heart of the tradition as the five-fold gospel that proclaims, 'Jesus is Savior, Sanctifier, Holy Ghost Baptizer, Healer, and Soon Coming King'. Land's work recovers the crucial importance of the tradition's Wesleyan, Holiness, and nineteenth-century revivalist-restorationist roots. Beginning with a discussion of the relationship between spirituality and theology, Land offers a description and analysis of Pentecostal beliefs and practices, a demonstration of how these beliefs and practices are integrated in the Pentecostal affections, and a Trinitarian re-visioning of Pentecostal Spirituality, arguing that a passion for the kingdom of God is ultimately a passion for God.
