Toward A Pentecostal Theology Of Preaching

From the beginning of the movement until now Pentecostalism has relied heavily upon its preachers – preachers both old and young, male and female, ordained and lay, educated and uneducated. Although preaching has been an important aspect of Pentecost life and practice, few works have been written on Pentecostal preaching, and if you were still have been written from an academic standpoint. This volume is a first step in meeting the need for scholarly reflection upon this important topic.



In this multi-authored work, leading Pentecostal theologians come together to construct a contemporary model for the theology and practice of Pentecostal preaching. The writers take into account Pentecostalism’s history, theology, ethos, diversity, and global expressions as they offer a distinctive theological vision for Pentecostal preaching. Chapters address issues related to the location of preaching, the content of preaching, the place of preaching in the community of faith, the role of the Holy Spirit in preaching, and Pentecostalism’s openness to women as preachers.



Written for pastors, students, and scholars, this work provides ample resources for those interested in examining the Pentecostal theory of preaching.
