About this ebook

At a time when the Evangelical wing of the church is beginning to show some signs of soul searching over the issues of war and peace, the Pentecostals would do well to study their own heritage.

Whether they accept or reject their earlier world view, they need to interpret the motivation for their original beliefs and those which they now hold.

As people of the word of God, have Pentecostals altered their pacifistic views as a result of new biblical insights or cultural accommodation?
