Pentecostalism in Asia: Its Theology and Mandates

. . . Wonsuk Ma contends that Asian Christianity will indeed lead the next era of global Christian growth. As a Distinguished Professor of Global Christianity, former Director of the Oxford Centre for Mission Studies, and one of the 50 Pentecostal and Charismatic Leaders Every Christian Should Know, Ma is highly qualified to make this claim. Using growth data, he argues that Asian Pentecostalism is the key variable that will make the difference inside the Asian church and beyond. I fully concur with his argument . . . [From Foreword One]

*President, Oral Roberts University

Chair, Empowered21 and the Pentecostal World Fellowship* . . . Wonsuk Ma's book on Asian Pentecostalism is to be hugely welcomed. Much of the study is focused on East and Southeast Asia, with a special emphasis on China, Korea, and the Philippines. But it also spreads its wings wider to interact with Pentecostalism in other parts of the world, as well as with Christian movements outside the Pentecostal stream. It touches on a whole variety of issues confronting the church, both in Asia and the world today. [From Foreword Two]
