Abstract

122 Book Reviews / Pneuma 34 ( 2012 ) 95-159 Julie C. Ma and Wonsuk Ma, Mission in the Spirit: Towards a Pentecostal/Charismatic Missiol- ogy (Oxford: Regnum Books, 2010), xvii + 312 pp., paper, $37.00.

It offfers a foundational theology of mission, studies in the practice of mission, and pointers for future pentecostal research. Ma & Ma argue that there have been three “ripples” in pente- costal mission — an initial eschatological urgency in evangelism giving way to a focus on transforming the world “this side of heaven” with the need now for wider and deeper mis- sion engagement.
