"Larry Hart's Truth Aflame brings together charismatic renewal and
classic evangelical faith better than anything I have read. An important
contribution to the contemporary renaissance in systematic theology!"
Timothy George Dean of Beeson Divinity School of Samford University,
Executive Editor of Christianity Today As the Pentecostal/charismatic
movement continues to grow, so does the need for solid theological
resources for its members. While there are many volumes of systematic
theology available, very few are written from a distinctly charismatic
perspective. Truth Aflame seeks to meet that need. While academically
sound, Truth Aflame is written with a practical, pastoral flavor. Larry
Hart defines systematic theology as the process of taking what the Bible
teaches and relating it to contemporary questions and knowledge. His
passion for the subject is evident: he is concerned that the reader both
grasps the magnificence of the study of God and allows these great
truths to be transformative. This Truth, then--liberating, enlivening,
and transforming Truth--becomes central to the ongoing renewal of the
church that we are seeing in our day. Dr. Hart treats each of the
traditional categories--revelation, God, creation, humanity, sin,
Christ, salvation, the church, and last things--from a
Pentecostal/charismatic perspective. He addresses other theological
viewpoints but does not get bogged down in analysis and rebuttal.
Further, he seeks to build bridges of understanding to those
evangelicals outside the charismatic tradition. Clear, succinct, and
readable, this revised and updated edition of Truth Aflame is
well-suited not only for students, but for anyone desiring a greater
understanding of Pentecostal/charismatic theology.
