Comments on: Graham Ward’s The Politics of Discipleship, reviewed by Amos Yong https://pneumareview.com/gward-politics-of-discipleship-ayong/ Journal of Ministry Resources and Theology for Pentecostal and Charismatic Ministries & Leaders Wed, 06 Jun 2018 18:30:06 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.0.38 By: Pneuma Review https://pneumareview.com/gward-politics-of-discipleship-ayong/#comment-35297 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 22:44:21 +0000 http://pneumareview.com/?p=1539#comment-35297 Thank you for the comments. When Dr. Yong submitted this review to us, he acknowledged it was more academic than most *Pneuma Review* readers would be ready for. He suggested we place it online in the “In Depth Resources” department on our legacy website at PneumaFoundation.org. Such a category does not yet exist at PneumaReview.com yet, but this is a good reminder that having something like it is something we should consider.

I know what eschatological means but I haven’t seen so many 9 syllable words since my freshman year in college! I know it starts out saying you need a degree to appreciate the book but the review isn’t for the faint of heart either. Almost like reading the fine print in a contract!”

TW responded: “I would do better with a contract because of my juris doctor degree but despite two graduate degrees I was lost in trying to follow this critique.”

and later TW wrote: ” Amos Yong the writer is listed as one of my friends so I have asked him for a simple explanation.”

My comments do not wish to demean in any way the work of Dr. Yong. It is only my inability to comprehend his work. I look forward to reading additional work by Dr. Yong in the future.”
