| Publisher Description: Edward Irving welcomed and authenticated the supernatural manifestations of the Holy Spirit more than 75 years before the Pentecostal Movement exploded upon the scene of Christian history. This British pastor and theologian challenged the status quo of 19th century Protestantism to reconsider their hardened rejection of the continuation of supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit beyond the era of the New Testament. Irving wrote with theological wisdom and prophetic vision as to the reasons why miraculous gifts, signs and wonders have a vital role to play in the expression and expansion of the Christian church in every generation. When Pentecostal manifestations spread from the west of Scotland to his London congregation in 1831, Irving was poised to provide biblical, theological and practical guidance to these adventurous disciples of the supernatural who were more than a century ahead of their time. Irving's Holy Spirit writings, now in print after more than 150 years of neglect, appear in this fresh and compelling presentation with an artful introduction and helpful chronology of persons and events to introduce to the modern reader this treasury of essays that are sure to enlighten and inspire. |
