Cecil M. Robeck Jr., an ordained minister with the Assemblies of God, serves as senior professor of church history and ecumenics and special assistant to the president for ecumenical relations at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California. For nine years, he served as the editor of Pneuma: The Journal of the Society for Pentecostal Studies. He is the author of some 275 articles, a number of which are on patristic topics. His patristic work has been useful in the International Roman Catholic–Pentecostal Dialogue, which he has chaired since 1992. He is the author of two books and the editor or co-editor of five others, including, with Amos Yong, The Cambridge Companion to Pentecostalism (2014).
“The use of authority and the place of the prophetic gifts in the church continues to be an important, often controversial, discussion in the church today. Robeck’s focused study on the fascinating situation in Carthage, North Africa, in the third century AD is important and illuminating both for church historians and those involved in the ministries of the church today. As ecumenical dialogs, also, these issues by their very nature have relevance. Robeck’s extended treatment of Perpetua, a person whose importance in the history of the church is too often overlooked, is significant for the discussions of women’s authority and leadership in the church.”
- David M. Scholer, professor of New Testament, Fuller Theological Seminary (1994–2008)
