Should a Christian doctrine of salvation be concerned with this life or the life to come? With forgiveness of sins or deliverance of sinners? With the saving of the soul or the healing of the body? Should it focus on the person and work of Jesus Christ or on the presence and power of Holy Spirit? To all these questions (and more), Tony Richie's Saved, Delivered, and Healed: Introducing a Pentecostal Doctrine of Salvation answers "Yes!" Then it proceeds to present from the Scriptures, from Pentecostal theology and spirituality, and from decades of pastoral and personal experiences and academic insights an energetic and holistic view of salvation grounded in the wisdom, goodness, and power of God. Its constant focus is God's ultimate redemptive purpose in Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit for the lives of real human beings living in the real world. If you have ever wondered what Christian salvation actually means and how it actually works, then this book is for you.
“In this introductory tour of salvation, Richie serves as an
expert guide who knows the terrain and yet can demystify complex
ideas into language that any Christian should recognize. In doing
so, he shows both the basic Protestant architecture and the
stylistic features that demarcate Pentecostal distinctives.”
—Dale M. Coulter, Pentecostal Theological Seminary
“Tony Richie is an evangelist, pastor, and theologian. He is a
committed Pentecostal and ecumenist. He has successfully integrated
all of this into Saved, Delivered, and Healed. This is a
serious treatment of the Pentecostal way of salvation in dialogue
with the historic Christian tradition. Throughout, he seamlessly
weaves testimony and theological reflection in a conversational
style that is folksy and intellectual. In true Pentecostal fashion,
Richie has written a theology that preaches!”
—Dan Tomberlin, Pentecostal Theological Seminary
