SPIRIT-SHAPED MISSION
(a holistic charismatic theology)
By Andrew Lord. Paternoster. 142 pages. £12.99
ISBN 1 84227 264 0

This book reflects in a rather technical-theological way on the theology of mission, from a charismatic point of view.

After summarising current thinking about mission in the charismatic and Pentecostal worlds, Lord proposes the beginnings of his own charismatic theology of mission. It is holistic (not just concerned with saving souls), experiential, and big on community and spirituality. His heroes are John Wimber, David Pytches, David Bosch, and to a lesser extent Clark Pinnock and Jurgen Moltmann.
