Synopsis

The book of Acts has served as the foundational biblical text for the development of Pentecostal theology and biblical studies since the outpouring of the Spirit at the Azusa Street Revival in 1906. Now, over a hundred years have passed since the Azusa Street Revival and the book of Acts is still at the forefront of the Pentecostal dialogue. Trajectories in Acts draws together the work of leading Pentecostal scholars each bringing their expertise to bear in tracing and developing trajectories in Acts. These essays have been brought together as a Festschrift in order to celebrate the influence, scholarship, and teaching career of John Wesley Wyckoff, a noted figure in the Assemblies of God and a known voice in the Pentecostal Dialogue.Contributors include: Bruce E. Rosdahl, Robert G. Reid, Craig S. Keener, Jordan Daniel May, Robert P. Menzies, Mario Escobedo II, Janet Meyer Everts, Rachel Baird, Roger Stronstad, Rob Starner, James D. Hernando, Roger D. Cotton, Jeff C. Magruder, James B. Shelton, and LeRoy R. Bartel.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

"Finally! A set of Pentecostal readings of Luke-Acts that not only engages the texts dear to Pentecostals but interacts with the broad scope of Luke's narrative, and does so with hermeneutical skill and creative insight. Herein we have Pentecostal tongues translated for a broader readership-non-Pentecostal biblical scholars should take notice."

"Anyone familiar with Pentecostals knows full well the importance they place on Acts for their theology and praxis. Contributors to this volume address enduring questions surrounding Lukan pneumatology, missions, and hermeneutics, but alongside contemporary scholarship and current ecclesial concerns. The essayist implore not only Pentecostals but all Christians to give to careful considerations to Luke's message for the twenty-first century."
