Zusatztext I enthusiastically recommend this book for anyone interested in Edwards studies but even more, for seekers of spiritual renewal wary of the theological challenges commonly hindering a vibrant and healthy Christian faith. Informationen zum Autor Amos Yong is Professor of Theology at Fuller Theological Seminary, USA.

From revivalism and religious/charismatic experience to pneumatology they also share common theological interests. Though sharing a common history and core theological concerns, no critical conversation between Pentecostals and Edwards and their fields of scholarship has occurred. This is the first volume that provides Pentecostal readings of Edwards' theology that contribute to Pentecostal theology and Edwards scholarship. The contributing essays offer examination of affections and the Spirit, God and Salvation, Church and culture; and mission and witness.Brings Jonathan Edwards into critical and constructive dialogue with Pentecostalism.
