Wolfgang Vondey’s Pentecostal Theology is a creative, constructive, and far ranging contribution to the development of Pentecostal theology. Grounded in the Pentecostal experience of the full gospel, it provides both a fundamental Pentecostal theology and a Pentecostal perspective on major categories of systematic theology. The book marks a new phase of efforts to develop a comprehensive or systematic Pentecostal theology by starting with Pentecostal concerns and developing a theology in terms of them. This review focuses on Vondey’s discussions of creation (ch. 7) and theological anthropology (ch. 8), in which he argues that a Pentecostal theology of creation and eschatology does not conclude with God razing the world, but with the Spirit’s renewing creation. Furthermore, although Spirit baptism transforms the individual, the purpose of that individual transformation is to lead beyond the self and to create a community of sanctified life. Spirit baptism leads those who receive it into the world to live for all people.

沃尔夫冈·冯迪的五旬节神学是对五旬节神学发展的创造性，建设性和广泛的贡献。它基于整本福音书的五旬节经历，提供了基本的五旬节神学和五旬节派对系统神学的主要类别的观点。这本书标志着从五旬节问题开始并就这些问题发展神学的努力，从而发展出一个全面的或系统的五旬节神学的新阶段。这篇评论集中在冯迪关于创造（第七章）和神学人类学（第八章）的讨论中，他认为五旬节神论的创造论和末世论并不是以神夷平世界为结论，而是以圣灵的更新创造为结局。此外，尽管圣灵的洗礼改变了个人，个人转变的目的是超越自我，建立一个成圣生活的社区。洗礼带领那些接受洗礼的人进入世界，为所有人生活。
