Pentecost in Tulsa tells the story of how the city became an important epicenter of Pentecostal and Charismatic Christianity in the United States. In its earliest days, revivals led by such luminaires as Charles Parham, Aimee Semple McPherson, and Raymond T. Richey helped establish important Pentecostal churches. Later, well-known evangelists in the movement, such as Oral Roberts and Kenneth Hagin, launched worldwide ministries from Tulsa that impacted millions around the globe. This book also reveals the untold story of a resilient Black Pentecostal community that endured the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre and revived the famous Greenwood District. Through these triumphs and tragedies, Tulsa has emerged as a significant location with continuing impact on the story of Pentecostalism.
Lent recalls times of wilderness and wandering, from newly freed Hebrew slaves in exile to Jesus' temptation in the desert. God has always called people out of their safe, walled cities into uncomfortable places, revealing paths they would never have chosen. Despite our culture of self-indulgence, we too are called to walk an alternative pathâ€"one of humility, justice, and peace. Walter Brueggemann's thought-provoking reflections for the season of Lent invite us to consider the challenging, beautiful life that comes with walking the way of grace.
We often regard the author of the Gospel of Mark as an obscure figure about whom we know little. Many would be surprised to learn how much fuller a picture of Mark exists within widespread African tradition, tradition that holds that Mark himself was from North Africa, that he founded the church in Alexandria, that he was an eyewitness to the Last Supper and Pentecost, that he was related not only to Barnabas but to Peter as well and accompanied him on many of his travels. In this provocative reassessment of early church tradition, Thomas C. Oden begins with the palette of New Testament evidence and adds to it the range of colors from traditional African sources, including synaxaries (compilations of short biographies of saints to be read on feast days), archaeological sites, non-Western historical documents and ancient churches. The result is a fresh and illuminating portrait of Mark, one that is deeply rooted in African memory and seldom viewed appreciatively in the West.
Early Americans have long been considered "A People of the Book" Because the nickname was coined primarily to invoke close associations between Americans and the Bible, it is easy to overlook the central fact that it was a book-not a geographic location, a monarch, or even a shared language-that has served as a cornerstone in countless investigations into the formation and fragmentation of early American culture. Few books can lay claim to such powers of civilization-altering influence. Among those which can are sacred books, and for Americans principal among such books stands the Bible. This Handbook is designed to address a noticeable void in resources focused on analyzing the Bible in America in various historical moments and in relationship to specific institutions and cultural expressions. It takes seriously the fact that the Bible is both a physical object that has exercised considerable totemic power, as well as a text with a powerful intellectual design that has inspired everything from national religious and educational practices to a wide spectrum of artistic endeavors to our nation's politics and foreign policy. This Handbook brings together a number of established scholars, as well as younger scholars on the rise, to provide a scholarly overview--rich with bibliographic resources--to those interested in the Bible's role in American cultural formation.

A probing but clearly written book, Calendar will find an appreciative audience beyond academia and clergy to the laity of the church: choirs and their directors, worship planners, adult study groups, and others who want to understand better the church's times of preparation and celebration. Calendar centers largely on theological meaning and parish practice in relation to liturgical time. Deliberately, almost no attention is given to detailed historical development, much of which is exceedingly complex in its origins and technical in its detail. An appendix entitled "Forgetting What You Were Always Taught (Or, This Book in a Nutshell)" aptly describes the radical reordering that Stookey believes occurs when our understanding of time and the story of Jesus takes its bearings from the Incarnation. So, just as the Christian week begins with Sunday, the day of Resurrection, Stookey follows the Christian year beginning with the season of Easter, and only then Lent; Christmas, then Advent. Illuminating discussions of Ordinary and Extraordinary Time, and the Sanctoral Cycle follow.
Charismatic Chaos thoughtfully and carefully shines the light of Scripture on teaching that is not only gaining massive and loyal television followin, but also leading to disunity on a worlwide scale and promising to fuel controversy for years to come.
The Church of God, founded in 1886 in the mountains of East Tennessee, has evolved into a major Pentecostal Christian denomination with a worldwide membership. Crews (history and social science, Troy State U., Georgia) traces the religious, social, and political changes that have brought the Church of God into the American Protestant mainstream.

One of the first books ever written by Oral Roberts, If You Need Healing, Do These Things was originally published in 1947 shortly after Roberts began his healing ministry. As a young man dying from tuberculosis, who experienced the healing power of God for himself, Roberts wrote a book that still speaks profoundly to all people who are sick or hurting in some area of their life. Can God heal? Will He heal me? If You Need Healing, Do These Things answers those questions...and more. Written by someone who knows what it is like to lose all hope and to walk the very steps you may be walking right now, If You Need Healing, Do These Things is a down-to-earth, practical "handbook" on how to get into position to receive whatever miracle you need from God.
Are you ready to go deeper in your relationship with the Holy Spirit? From Passover to Pentecost is a fifty-day journey specifically designed to prepare you for a fresh and deep experience with the Holy Spirit. In From Passover to Pentecost, Cynthia shares that the Bible tells us to count the fifty days beginning with Passover and ending with Pentecost, called in Hebrew Shavuot (Leviticus 23:15-16). It was on this fiftieth day called Pentecost that the first believers received the Holy Spirit (Acts 2). They had been waiting in Jerusalem for the "Promise of the Father" when God's Spirit fell on them. I believe that as we wait upon the LORD from Passover to Pentecost, preparing our hearts by giving Him our love and devotion, we too can receive a fresh endowment of power and revelation through the ever-present living Spirit of God! This book will encourage you to enter into a new place of intimacy with the Holy Spirit, and receive a fresh impartation of power and revelation.
