This book documents much of the history of the charismatic/pentecostal movement. It gives numerous quotations from direct sources, and ample footnotes. The author is not a charismatic, but is not a cessationist--he does not spend time trying to explain away charismatic gifts. His concerns are mainly about "supernaturally received" teachings, and the implications of such teaching. In other words, it is a reactionary work, not unlike a good portion of the New Testament. Many of the topics and areas explained in this book years ago have now gained near mainstream acceptance in "christendom", and many people are jumping on the exciting, happy, experience-oriented bandwagon without sound Biblical investigation. It's unfortunate that this book is hard to find. It's worth looking for.
