Academic and Pentecostal: An Appreciation of Roger Stronstad

Abstract

1) I offer a brief narration of Stronstad’s journey toward personal ownership of a rich Pentecostal heritage; 2) I provide a summary of Stronstad’s magnum opus, "The Charismatic Theology of St. Luke"; 3) I move to Stronstad’s later development of Christian vocation as the "Prophethood of All Believers"; 4) I address the structural design of a one-volume commentary co-edited with French Arrington; and 5) I offer a select review of Stronstad’s participation in an ongoing Pentecostal debate concerning biblical interpretation.
