ANDERSON A Spreading fires - The missionary nature of early Pentecostalism
SCM Press 2007 0334040639 / 9780334040637 Paperback
[Number in stock: 1]
This book analyses the context, history, theology and praxis of the first Pentecostal missions in the first two decades of the twentieth century. Based largely on primary sources, it explores the social and historical context in which Pentecostalism arose, the revival, holiness and healing movements associated with it in the late nineteenth century, and the influence of colonialism on Pentecostal missions. It traces the stories of Pentecostal missionaries and 'native workers' in Africa, China, India and other parts of Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. The first part of the book is historical, while the second part is analytical, missiological and theological. It looks at the doctrine and experience of the Spirit so central to Pentecostal mission, the emphasis on evangelism, healing and premillennialism, the translation and contextualization of the Christian message by Pentecostal missionaries, and issues of religion, race, gender and culture. It concludes with an analysis of the missionary nature of Pentecostalism and the contemporary implications of this for the wider church.

ANDERSON A A WBC - Word Biblical Commentary series - 2 Samuel (volume 11)
Word Australia 1989 084990210X / 9780849902109 Hardcover
[Number in stock: 1]
The Book of 2 Samuel, which tells the story of David, Israel's greatest king, declares A. A. Anderson, is a central book in Scripture. It has served as a direct source for or influence on the books of Kings and Chronicles, the Prophets, and the Psalms, as well as the New Testament, and references to David can even be found in Gen. 49:10 and Num. 24:17, as Anderson has documented.
Although 2 Samuel begins with the death of his predecessor, Saul, and follows through to David's old age, the so-called Succession Narrative comprises most of the story in the book, telling how David built his kingdom and survived all threats to its continuity. It culminates in the final act of placing Solomon on the throne, which spills over into 1 Kings 1-2.
Anderson considers the Succession Narrative to be an apology - an official interpretation of significant events, not a eulogy written to the greater glory of either David or Solomon. Rather, it was intended to show that David, in spite of a series of near disasters, was not under a curse; and it mains that Solomon was the rightful heir to David's throne, even though popular expectations as well as Solomon's youth and parentage apparently led many contemporaries to question the judgment.
The issue was not Who of David's sons will be king? the author points out, but more likely Is there any of David's sons fit to sit on the throne of David?
The commentary offers a full general bibliography with additional specialized lists of up-to-date bibliographies at the beginning of each chapter and of each section of the Introduction.
The Introduction discusses:
- The literary history of 2 Samuel
- Samuel's relation to the books of Joshua, Judges, and Kings
- The Succession Narrative
- The text of 2 Samuel and its research
- The use of 2 Samuel in the Scriptures.
The volume provides a fresh translation with detailed explanatory notes concerning original word choices. Carefully evaluating textual evidence from the Masoretic Text, the Septuagint, Qumran texts, and Targums, and Latin texts, Anderson holds that no one of these has a monopoly as the best witness to the original text. Each variation is thus evaluated for the contribution it can make.
Arnold A. Anderson is honorary Fellow in the Faculty of Theology at the University of Manchester in England. He is the author of Qumran Cave 4: Discoveries in the Judean Desert (with J M. Allegro) and a two-volume commentary, The Book of Psalms, in the New Century Bible. He has a the B.A. and the M.A. degrees from Oxford University and the B.D. from London University.
