If last week you had told me that I’d be finding a book on the Sacraments by a Pentecostal scholar, I would have probably laughed and thought you were crazy. Those two subjects are mutually exclusive, right? Wrong. I just received (thanks to my wife!) Daniel Tomberlin’s Pentecostal Sacraments: Encountering God at the Alter and I’m interested in reading how a Pentecostal approaches this subject.
I’m interested in seeing if Tomberlin moves from a Memorialist view to something along the lines of the Reformed Spiritual Presence view regarding the Lord’s Supper. I’ve long wondered why more Pentecostals and Charismatics do not see the robust pneumatology that is provided in such an understanding. It would seem to build upon their emphasis on the experience of the Holy Spirit.
At any rate, I have a couple books in front of this one, but I’ll soon be reading it…
Luke is a pastor-theologian living in northern California, serving as a co-lead pastor with his life, Dawn, at the Red Bluff Vineyard. Father of five amazing kids, when Luke isn’t hanging with his family, reading or writing theology, he moonlights as a fly fishing guide for Confluence Outfitters. He blogs regularly at LukeGeraty.com and regularly contributes to his YouTube channel.
I anticipate your review.
Dan
