Book Update 3: The Problem of Christology for Pentecostal Preachers *and* Everyone Else

One of the odd ways that conservatism and liberalism in theology horseshoe together is anti-intellectualism. It’s a rejection of complicated, calm thoughtfulness about all things theological. In this video I talk about that, and how our zeal and loving devotion for Jesus might actually lead us astray in our worship of him. But you need to watch the whole video to know what I mean by that, because that’s obviously something that can be taken the wrong way.Anyway, I want Pentecostal preaching—as it was for Peter on the day of Pentecost—to be zeroed in on the person and work of Christ. Give it a listen to get a window into how I’m writing my next chapter on Pentecostal preaching. For your reference and purchasing power, here are the links to the two books I mention in the video:The Christological Controversy, edited and translated by Richard Norris Jr.Heresies and How to Avoid Them, eds.
