An Amos Yong Reader

“In the days when mainstream theologians treated Pentecostalism with disdain, Yong’s scholarship gave birth to twins—systematized pentecostal theology and sophistication. In this scholarship pentecostal thinkers find their most intimate voice, and the global academy witnesses a splendid realization of the potentials of pentecostal theology. This book is a concrete evidence of all these.”


—Nimi Wariboko, Walter G. Muelder Professor of Social Ethics, Boston University, author of The Pentecostal Hypothesis: Christ Talks, They Decide





“Finally, a representative collection of Amos Yong’s writings in a single place! This Reader will delight newcomers and seasoned scholars of Pentecostalism alike by offering a selection of Yong’s most notable essays as entry points to his prolific work. Yong’s writing speaks for itself—what Stephenson offers is a firework of topics and ideas highlighting the pioneering work of one of Pentecostalism’s premier theologians.”


—Wolfgang Vondey, Professor of Christian Theology and Pentecostal Studies, University of Birmingham





“Christopher Stephenson has done a great favor to all of those who want to dive into the vast corpus of the world’s leading global pentecostal theologian, Amos Yong. This reader provides access to Yong’s rich and broad work, which will become essential reading for students of pentecostal theology in particular, and Christian theology in general, in the coming decades.”
