Baptism in the Holy Spirit

Professor Koo D. Yun has given us a rich exposure to the various viewpoints offered on the Baptism in the Holy Spirit across confessional and denominational lines. Those who are tired of well-worn arguments and counterarguments on the nature of Spiritbaptism will find Yun's book a breath of fresh air. He challenges Pentecostal and Non-Pentecostal theologians alike to think ecumenically about Spirit baptism as a complex work of the Spirit. I highly recommend it. -- Frank D. Macchia, Vanguard University of Southern California and Editor of Pneuma: The Journal of the Society for Pentecostal Studies
Rather than divide, the Spirit's gifts should unite the one Body of Christ. Koo Dong Yun's book paves the road toward a holistic theology of the Holy Spirit with signs directing us toward dialogue between Pentecostals, Roman Catholics, and mainline Protestants. -- Ted Peters, Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary
I commend this volume to the student who wishes a strong historical and theological contribution to his or her understanding of Spirit baptism. It is a serous critique of the limited perspective that all too often characterizes Pentecostal discussionsconcerning the baptism in the Holy Spirit here in the USA. -- Byron D. Klaus * Pneuma *
Prof. Yun has written the best dialectical analysis to date of traditional and contemporary interpretations of Spirit-baptism. The ecumenical scope of this study clarifies the issues to which theologians of all the churches need to attend in approaching baptism in the Holy Spirit. Prof. Yun has written a must read for anyone involved in Pentecostal charismatic forms of prayer and for anyone seriously interested in advancing understanding among the churches. -- Donald L. Gelpi, S.J., Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley
