Toward a Pentecostal Theology of Prophetic Legitimacy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781953358431)

Mark Chironna's Toward a Pentecostal Theology of Prophetic Legitimacy confronts head-on the growing crisis of prophetic function in Independent Pentecostal circles. This work, set apart by its unique interdisciplinary approach and sustained by rigorous study of prophetic figures in Scripture, not only critiques the unorthodox teachings and questionable practices prevalent in modern prophetic ministries but also constructs an alternative framework for ministerial identity and agency that is both recognizably Christian and authentically Pentecostal. The book also delves deeply into the life and teachings of Violet Kiteley, a seminal figure in the Latter Rain movement, and presents her as a significant exemplar of accountable ministry. Through that exploration and its manifold other dimensions, this challenging and timely study affords a promising vision of prophetic function, illuminating a path to reform and pointing the way toward the restoration of prophetic legitimacy.

Mark J. Chironna (PhD, University of Birmingham) is founder and Senior Pastor of Church on the Living Edge in Orlando, Florida.
