Initial Evidence
"This is a superb collection of articles on the central issue of Pentecostalism--speaking in tongues as the initial evidence for the baptism in the Holy Spirit. The articles, written by both Pentecostals and non-Pentecostals, are historically informative, scholarly, irenic in spirit, ecumenical in treatment, and wide-ranging in interest. Here is an opportunity for both Pentecostals and non-Pentecostals to become better informed about Pentecostalism. While offering a solid defense of traditional Pentecostalism, the book also offers candid assessments that take a different view. This book should become a must for those who want to understand both historic and present-day Pentecostalism."--Gord...

Women and the Landscape of American Higher Education
"Since Wesleyan Holiness and Pentecostalism are the foundations of my faith journey, I set out to put together the 'great cloud of [women] witnesses' (Heb 12:1) from these two faith traditions who founded Christian colleges. ... Even if manyof the Christian higher education that these women founded no longer exist, or have been merged into other institutions, it is of paramount importance to honor their life journeys in the service of God."--Author's preface.
