The Pentecostal Insight

Pentecostals seek direct encounters with God and seek to engage in spiritual warfare against the powers of darkness. In this they have the right attitude. But they generally lack the intellectual sophistication to explore these realities in a way that is useful for the rest of humanity. There are exceptions. Velli-Matti Karkkainen is one. Bill Alston another. If Christianity has a relevant future it will come from men such as this.
