5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book on Pentecostal theology, December 31, 2004

By	Jesse M. Roland (Barberville, FL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

For years this book was one of the very precious few on Pentecostal theology available. Unfortunately Pentecostals were amazingly slow to put their distinctive theology into a comprehensive work. That has changed now and you can find works from Pentecostal scholars on theology and doctrine but it is a relatively recent development.

This book, when it could be found, filled a great role for Bible students and ministers for studying doctrine. Twenty years ago I could find nothing else like it. The AG, CoG, nor even my own fellowship, the PHC, had anything of the sort. Because there was no such work available the authors, who were teachers in a Foursquare Bible College, put this work together.

Even now this book is an excellent study of the major doctrines of the Pentecostal movement (non-Weslyan variety). It is written in a very ordered and structured way and teachers will find that helpful. The book reads very well considering it is a theology book. It flows well. I can't imagine why any of the previous reviewers would have found such problems with this book. If you are a Pentecostal or Charismatic minister/teacher/preacher and you can find a copy of this book it needs to be in your library.

5.0 out of 5 stars A valuable resource!, May 30, 2006

By	William Steck "Bill" (Dearborn) - See all my reviews

I've had "Foundations of Pentecostal Theology" for about a year now. There have been quite a few times over the past 12 months where I've turned to it for a succinct, clear summary of various pentecostal/interdenominational views. Each time I've been impressed how fair and thorough Van Cleave and Duffield are in this work. Even if you don't agree with their viewpoints, you will admit that they've done their homework! I especially liked their treatment of "Once Saved Always Saved," which is a voice of reason in an emotionally charged issue.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bookshelf Reference, June 21, 2000

By	Ken Fidler (Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Simple and well laid out book for your shelf. A very easy and quick reference book that can help point out what Pentecostals believe and way. Good book to help guide for more study. Obviously the authors have a certain doctrinal stand but have managed to still produce a very balanced book. I use it and recommend it to anyone.
