From an engaging and thorough analysis of the relevant material in the Synoptic Gospels and Acts, he offers an approach that more accurately reflects the evidence and that, therefore, is more appropriate for informing contemporary theology and practice.   \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e' . . . as I read, I became more and more pleased with the fresh and astute treatment the author has given to this very important movement in the recent history of the Christian church. I think Keith has done the whole church, and especially the Third Wave Movement, a great service. He has helped us to make important connections between practice and hermeneutics . . . I would like to be able to put this book into the hands of all Christian leaders.' The Rt. Revd Cyril Ashton, Bishop of Doncaster  \u003cbr\u003e***- Publisher.*** \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSigns and Wonders Then and Now","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51572889583903,"sku":"9781844741496","price":23.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9781844741496_125521.jpg?v=1769400000","url":"https:\/\/koorong.com\/products\/signs-and-wonders-then-and-now-252638","provider":"Koorong","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
