Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What sort of experience of grace does the Holy Spirit give Pentecostals when they celebrate the Eucharist? This book aims to answer that question by investigating Holy Communion through a "Pentecostal spirituality" framework and process known as search-encounter-transformation. Doing so enriches the theology and spirituality of Pentecostalism and broadens its understanding of the journey of salvation. The author argues that the invocation of the Spirit in the Eucharist (the epicl¿sis) grants the church a pneumatological imagination, enabling it to properly remember (the anamn¿sis) the work of Christ. The outcome of remembering will be to see the Eucharist as a meal of solidarity and justice, a meal that manages the hunger of the world, a meal that offers healing, a meal for missional nourishment, a meal reorienting eschatology by providing a preview of the restoration of all things (apokatastasis) in the wedding supper of the Lamb. Ultimately, this book encourages Pentecostals to desire a weekly celebration of the Eucharist in order to become truly Pentecostal!
