In Jesus Name
 

I highly recommend "In Jesus Name" The History and Beliefs of Oneness Pentecostals by David A. Reed. It is the most comprehensive history I have read about the American Jesus Name movement. The publishers are deo publishing. The biblography is outstanding.

Wow sounds a little bit pricey. Elder Epley, how does it compare to Fudge's book? It is as scholarly or more a collection of biographies or what?

Re: In Jesus Name
 

Send one to me! Ha... Well serious maybe i can get one next time am in the states...i love to read history...

Re: In Jesus Name
 

Fudge's work was slanted he had a point to prove. While Reed addresses this issue it is not the thesis of the book. The book is a comprehensive history of Oneness Pentecostalism. I am a student of the American Jesus Name movement this is by far the best reference book I have ever looked at. And again Mr. Reed is NOT Pentecostal though he has Pentecostal roots he work is a compliment to both his scholarship as a historian and his fairness to Pentecostals.:thumbsup

Re: In Jesus Name
 

I'd like to read it . I rather doubt the library would have it.
I may have to buy it! :coffee2

?????

How strange. Did you actually read Fudge's book??

I have read it a couple times cover to cover and was impressed with how he went out of his way to be fair and balanced.

Could you PLEASE cite ANY incident where his rendering was slanted ?

Re: In Jesus Name
 

I don't know Fudge's heart so I don't know if he was slanted or biased. I think he was trying to show that the UPC has not been, and even is not now, completely agreed when it comes to how a person is justified/saved/born again.

Re: In Jesus Name
 

Fudge wrote as a historian, not a theologian. He researched, he documented. And was pretty much as objective as one could be. I find charges that he was "slanted" to be shall we say "interesting." Especially since his detractors are unable to give an example.

Having said that I am sure the book Epley is touting is worth reading. Just troubled by the anti-Fudge backlash from people who have never actually read Christianity without the Cross.
