Reviews

This is the first sustained encounter between the theological thought of one of the greatest modern Protestant theologians, Paul Tillich, and one of the most significant contemporary movements in Christianity, Pentecostalism. -Russell Re Manning, Bath Spa University While respecting certain, perhaps unbridgeable differences, this book draws some surprising and fascinating points of comparison. It illuminates aspects of Pentecostal Christianity and Tillichian theology by bringing them together in compelling and highly creative ways. -Daniel J. Peterson, Seattle University This book does great justice to Tillich's theological legacy. It is a must read for Pentecostal theologians and Tillich scholars... Highly recommended. -Choice These essays are remarkably clear and well-balanced. The essayists read Tillich empathetically and acutely, noting both the prospective values in Tillich for Pentecostals as well as points of divergence and disagreement. -Reading Religion For Tillichians, this book enriches our context for appreciating his theology of the Spirit. -Toronto Journal of Theology
