In this easily readable book Dr David Petts answers questions like: Who is the Holy Spirit? Should we worship the Holy Spirit? What is the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit? What role does the Spirit play in the work of conversion? Can the Holy Spirit help me live a holy life? What is the Baptism in the Holy Spirit? How can I receive and maintain the fulness of the Spirit? What are the gifts of the Spirit and how can I receive them? What's the role of the Holy Spirit in the life of the church? Written from a distinctly charismatic perspective this book will both inform you and inspire you. The author's balanced approach, with his insistence that our experience of the Spirit must be understood and evaluated in the light of biblical revelation, gives the reader confidence that the writer is familiar with the Holy Spirit's work not only from his study of the Word of God but also from personal experience.
A study of conversion to Christianity in the early medieval world which explores in particular the relationship between archaeology and belief and an attempt to re-centre the 'pagan' as a key element in the conversion process.
YOU'D BETTER BELIEVE IT has proved a valuable tool as an introduction to basic Christian doctrine for young converts and for those who are more mature in the faith. Its twenty chapters have proved useful for pastors and home-group leaders as the basis for a series of studies. For this purpose a set of study questions is included at the end of each chapter.
Signs from Heaven is the story of one man's experience of the miracle-working power of God. Miracles are events that defy natural explanation. They are signs - signs of God's existence, His power, and His love. Like the miracles that happened in the Bible, miracles today confirm the truth of the Christian message. The miracles recorded in this book will inspire Christians in their faith and encourage those who are not yet Christians to put their trust in Jesus Christ, who still works miracles today.
Using the latest archaeological evidence David Petts traces the growth of Christianity in Roman Britain from its earliest beginnings to the end of Roman rule in the province and beyond.

This series focuses on Western Europe in the Early Middle Ages and covers work in the areas of history, language & literature, archaeology, art history and religious studies. It brings together current scholarship on early medieval Britain with scholarship on western continental Europe and Viking Scandinavia; these areas have more traditionally been studied separately or in terms of the interaction of discrete cultures and regions. As well as advocating new approaches across geographical and political divisions, this series spans the conventional distinctions between Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages on the one hand, and the Early Middle Ages and the twelfth century on the other.

This book is about that treasured doctrine of Pentecostalism: baptism in the Holy Spirit, understood as a work subsequent to conversion to Christ. Since James Dunn's publication of Baptism in the Holy Spirit, there has been heated response from Pentecostals in defense of the doctrine. Key players are Roger Stronstad, Howard Ervin, David Petts, James Shelton, Robert Menzies, and ex-Pentecostal Max Turner. This book reviews Pentecostal criticisms of Dunn with respect to Luke-Acts, concluding that Pentecostals are right: for Luke, receiving the Spirit was not the inception of new covenant life. It was a powerful enabling for prophecy and miracles; for the church's outward mission and its internal life. After placing Luke-Acts in a wider canonical context, the book closes with some practical lessons from Luke-Acts for today's Pentecostal churches.
