Most systematic theologies are long, detailed works of over one thousand pages, or even multiple volumes. This book is a much briefer and more accessible systematic theology written from an evangelical Pentecostal/charismatic position. This book is ideal for college students and busy pastors who want to be aware of the Pentecostal charismatic positions on various doctrines, but who do not wish to wade through pages and pages of analyses and rebuttals. While author Larry Hart does not ignore other theological interpretations, he does not write detailed apologies against other points of view to defend his position. In a writing style that is easy to follow, with a practical pastoral flavor, Hart presents the structure of his systematic theology in a succinct, clear manner. This book includes both brief and detailed tables of contents.
Larry Hart writes a Pentecostal/charismatic systematic theology in an easily accessible style, engaging the reader throughout the text in a personal and pastoral manner.

This book is a great book for people who would like to better understand the great Christian doctrines. Hart uses both academic sources, historical sources and modern contemporary figures to show God's plan for the church. He does so in a simple non-complex manner that is theologically sound and yet easy to follow.

This is a great book! I found it academic and also practial in nature. It helped me to understand theological concepts without talking above my head. He utilized historical sources and modern contemporary individuals. This book is great for Sunday school classes, or those who want to know more about their Christian faith.
