Title: Pentecostals and the poor : reflections from the Indian context /
Authors: Satyavrata, Ivan; Klaus, Byron D.
Year: 2017
Subjects: Indian Pentecostals; Church work with the poor; Poverty India
Abstract: "There are occasions, when a book comes along at a critical time, where the insights provided and foundations established through its publishing, fills a broad vacuum with new vision. Dr. Ivan Satyavrata has written just such a book at a critical moment where serious theological reflection about the Church's engagement with the poor again requires recalibration. If readers will take seriously the sturdy scholarship and prophetic voice of Dr. Satyavrata, we will avoid the debilitating results of popular pop justice causes of the day that threaten to dissipate the Church's witness with feel good activities that rob the fullest impact of Spirit-empowered ministry."--Back cover
