His treatment of the origins and fate of the cessation of the charismata theory is well researched and convincingly presented. Of particular value and interest are Hyatt's sections on Charles Fox Parham, the formulator of Pentecostal theology, and the crucial part played by followers of Alexander Dowie who left Zion City to found important Pentecostal movements around the world. Hyatt's work is another in a stream of scholarly works that are driving nails in the coffin of the Warfield theory of the cessation of the miraculous signs, wonders, and miracles after the end of the apostolic age. He writes well and convincingly. I feel that this book brings together the most recent research on the subject and presents it in a popular way that any reader can understand.
