Pentecostals and the Poor

There are occasions when a book comes along at a critical time where the insights provided and foundations established through its publishing fills a broad vacuum with new vision. Dr. Ivan Satyavrata has written just such a book at a critical moment where serious theological reflection about the Churchs engagement with the poor again requires recalibration. If readers will take seriously the sturdy scholarship and prophetic voice of Dr. Satyavrata we will avoid the debilitating results of popular pop justice causes of the day that threaten to dissipate the Churchs witness with feel good activities that rob the fullest impact of Spirit-empowered ministry. -Dr. Byron Klaus Former President Assemblies of God Theological Seminary.
