Stephenson's book is without doubt one of the most significant assessments of Pentecostal theology to date... The book is the first to offer a thorough treatment and classification of several original types of systematic theology among Pentecostals. The chapters are suggestive, lucid, and critical. No course on theological method at Pentecostal institutions can afford to ignore this work, and it is sure to find its place among those interested in comparative
methodology.
