Azusa Street and Beyond Revised Edition
Released
Press Release
Dr. Grant McClung and
Bridge-Logos Publishing have announced the revised edition of McClung's
Azusa Street and Beyond: 100 Years of Commentary on the Global
Pentecostal/Charismatic Movement - Azusa Street Centennial Edition
Revised (Forthcoming January 2006).
The book is endorsed by
the Center for Spiritual Renewal (www.spiritualrenewal.net)
one of the principal organizers of the Azusa Street Centennial, scheduled for Los Angeles in April 2006 (www.azusastreet100.net).
Shortly before his untimely death, former Executive Director of the
Center, Dr. Robert Fisher noted: "We think the republication of Azusa
Street and Beyond is of particular importance to the body of Christ in
general especially on the occasion of the Centennial. It should be of
great interest to thousands of people attending the Centennial meetings in
Los Angeles."
In its original 1986
version, Azusa Street and Beyond was one of the earliest
forerunners of the emerging academic field of "pentecostal missiology."
The new edition, revised and expanded, is an insightful and prophetic
collection of essays and observations from Pentecostal and Charismatic
missionaries, evangelists, pastors, laity, educators, missiologists,
sociologists, social activists, historians, missions executives, and
missions mobilizers. Each of the four main sections (history, theology,
strategy, future trends) is introduced with an overview introduction by
McClung.
Grant McClung holds the
Doctor of Missiology degree from the Fuller Theological Seminary School of
Intercultural Studies where he was awarded the David Yonggi Cho Church
Growth Award in 1985 for his research on pentecostal missions. He is
currently an international missions leader with Church of God World
Missions.
As well as numerous articles on Pentecostal/Charismatic missions for
leading missiological journals, McClung has also contributed the
pentecostal viewpoint on missions to such publications as Pentecostals
From The Inside Out (Christianity Today, 1990), The
Globalization of Pentecostalism: A Religion Made to Travel (Regnum
Books, 1999) and the International Dictionary of The Pentecostal and
Charismatic Movements (Zondervan Publishing, 2001).
Initial reviews and
endorsements for the revised Azusa Street and Beyond indicate that
the book will be useful for a wide spectrum of readers. Azusa Street and
Beyond is designed to be used in the academy (seminaries, Bible
colleges, universities) as well as the assembly (local church pastors,
laity, missions leaders). It carries the unique blend of well-documented
scholarship with the evangelistic passion characteristic of the global
Pentecostal/Charismatic missionary expansion.
