"Always provocative and ever fresh, Amos Yong wrests insight for contemporary Christian mission from ancient texts--insight born of a robust faith, love for the church, love for those outside the church, and razor-sharp intellect. To say that every course in mission, bar none, should adopt Mission after Pentecost as a textbook is, surprisingly enough, to sell it short. Every Christian leader, bar none, should read this book, because in it Yong models how to connect, thoughtfully and theologically, the challenge of mission, the power of the Holy Spirit, and the richness of scripture."
--Jack Levison, Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University
"One would expect a missiology written by Yong to focus on scripture and the Holy Spirit. One would also expect it to be very good. On these expectations, he does not disappoint. But Yong's missio spiritus delivers more--much more. This book points us in a direction that might just save Christian mission."
--Terry C. Muck, coauthor of Christianity Encountering World Religions and coeditor of Handbook of Religion
"With a fresh reading of mostly US and European missiological literature, Yong's pneumatological and missional hermeneutics contributes to the theological and ecclesiological conversation regarding the Bible and Christian mission. This book is a gift to faith communities seeking to understand mission theologies and practices as an undertaking to be both discovered and learned en el camino ('on its way'). Yong's work joins the growing non-English contributions that global South biblical and missional scholars offer to Christian mission theological endeavors and the participation of the Holy Spirit."
--Carlos F. Cardoza-Orlandi, Baylor University
"A fascinating read as the book shows at least two important facts: the author's envelope-pushing theological and missiological thoughts are deeply rooted in biblical evidence, and his pioneering theological inquiries also push hermeneutical limits. To be among the must-read list for innovative theological minds."
--Wonsuk Ma, Oral Roberts University
"Mission after Pentecost vigorously and sensitively rethinks Christian mission in our late modern moment. Yong's readings of biblical texts explode preconceived notions of God's triadic presence and activity in the world, opening new vistas for mission in the process. Both scholars and practitioners of Christian mission will benefit from the insights of this significant book."
--David Tonghou Ngong, Stillman College; author of The Holy Spirit and Salvation in African Christian Theology
