Emilio Alvarez - Pentecost

Pentecost may well be the most misunderstood day on the church calendar. In his new IVP book ‘Pentecost: A Day of Power for All People’ Bishop Emilio Alvarez ‘offers us a rich biblical and theological introduction to the day of Pentecost and sets it in its liturgical context – not only in the Protestant tradition but also in Catholic, Orthodox, and Pentecostal expressions’. Emilio Alvarez is the presiding bishop of the Union of Charismatic Orthodox Churches. He’s also associate provost for lifelong learning at Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Kentucky in the States.
