Can anything orthodox come from Pentecostalism?

This recasting of Nathanael’s familiar question from the gospel is a fair summary of many modern Christians’ assessment of the Pentecostal tradition. Yet in recent years, a growing number of Pentecostals have been turning afresh to the ancient, creedal Christian faith.

Bishop Emilio Alvarez has himself been at the forefront of this movement. In Pentecostal Orthodoxy he introduces the phenomenon, and extends the project of paleo-orthodox ressourcement (associated with scholars like Thomas Oden and Robert Webber) to include orthodox expressions within Pentecostalism, including his own Afro-Latino Pentecostal Movement. This book is a manifesto of sorts, promising not only to open up the possibility of a genuinely orthodox Pentecostalism, but to reframe modern ecumenical dialogue as well.

Fullness of Time

The Fullness of Time series will bring together diverse voices and backgrounds in six books that will serve as theological/spiritual introductions and reflections on each season of the church year. McCaulley said, “This diverse group of male and female writers spans multiple church traditions, including the Anglican Church in North America, the Episcopal Church, and Black Pentecostals interested in the renewal of liturgical tradition.”
