Spring 2014: Other Significant Articles
“N. T. Wright on Gay Marriage: Nature and Narrative Point to Complementarity” First Things (June 11, 2014).
Tony Richie writes: “As usual, Tom Wright is both instructive and provocative. Well worth a read!”
Philip Jenkins, “Astonishing Assemblies” Christian Century (May 9, 2014).
Dale M. Coulter wrote: “Philip Jenkins on the ‘astonishing AG.’ Most of us know the story, but it’s nice to see it being picked up by a mainline Protestant magazine.”
Monte Lee Rice selected this quote from the article: “There is nothing new about the AG growing far beyond its original territory. What is stunning is the pace of change: from tens of thousands of (mainly) Americans in 1914 to tens of millions of believers today, drawn from across the globe.”
Pastor Daniel Thompson wrote: “I had a Lutheran seminary history prof who lovingly said, ‘The Pentecostals are God’s great joke on the rest of us in mainline churches.’ He meant it with great respect.”
“A Letter from Jürgen Moltmann”
A pastor writes to Jürgen Moltmann about suffering and grief and receives a moving response.
