Pentecostal Manifestos
Pentecostal Manifestos is a new series of books edited by James K. A. Smith (Calvin College) and Amos Yong (Regent University School of Divinity) for the William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company. The series aims to speak for and to a rising, outward-looking generation of Pentecostal scholarship. Written by both established and newly emerging scholars, the various “manifesto” volumes will be creative statements, marked by rigorous theological scholarship, reflecting a distinctly Pentecostal engagement with wider themes and concerns in Christian thought today. New books will appear in the series approximately every six to nine months, along with reviews on this blog site. We welcome comments engaging the reviews.
